Abstract excerpt
The complete 12S ribosomal RNA(rRNA) sequences from 23 gobioid species and nine diverse assortments of other fish species were employed to establish a core secondary structure model for fish 12S rRNA. Of the 43 stems recognized, 41 were supported by at least some compensatory evidence among vertebrates. The rates of nucleotide substitution were lower in stems than in loops. This may produce less phylogenetic...
