The complete mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) control region was cloned and sequenced in the musk shrew, Suncus murinus, Insectivora. The general aspect was similar to that found in other mammals. We have found in two locations of this region the presence of arrays of tandem repeats like those in other shrew species. One array was located in the left domain containing the termination-associated sequences (TAS) and the length of a copy was 77 bp. The other repeats were situated upstream from the recognition site for the end of H-strand replication in the right domain and were 20 bp long. The left halves of the control region containing the former repeats were sequenced and compared in several laboratory lines and wild animals from different localities, variations in copy number of repeated sequences were found both among individuals and within an individual. A comparative study of repeated sequences provides useful indication for the origin and evolution of tandem repeated sequences. Strand slippage and mispairing during replication of mtDNA with concerted manner is currently regarded as a dominant theory to account molecular mechanism for tandemly repeated sequences, and the pattern of sequence and length variation in our study supports this theory. Our results, however, suggest that the evolution of the repeated sequences containing the TAS in the musk shrew might go through the process of two steps; at the first step one complete repeated and several incomplete repeated sequences had reproduced in common ancestor of the shrew, and the second stage step-up of complete repeated sequences occurred with concerted evolution after differentiation into continental and insular groups.
