colleagues. Shameless plug: When I started working on
mosquitoes, I wanted to know what their interspersion patterns
were like. Instead of doing Cot curves (of which I have done too
many), we simply hybridized total genomic DNA to a few hundred
random clones from a genomic library. In a week or so we had
determined interspersion patterns for ten species. We published
this in Arch. Insect Biochem.Physiol. 10:105-113 (1989). >>What
