Abstract—The nucleotide sequence of 300 NotI clones with short human genomic DNA inserts was deter-
mined. More that 70% clones corresponded to GC-rich genomic regions with clustered NotI sites. Presumably,
at least 10% of the NotI sites form clusters in the human genome. Inserts from 33 clones proved highly homol-
ogous to sequenced human genes and cDNAs. NotI clusters were assumed to be associated with genes involved
in regulating cell proliferation and differentiation.

Key words: human genome, NotI clones, sequencing
