Pseudogenes contribute to the extreme diversity of nuclear ribosomal DNA in the hard coral Acropora.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Jul 2003

Márquez Luis M, Miller David J, MacKenzie Jason B, Van Oppen Madeleine J H

Abstract excerpt

One characteristic of Indo-Pacific Acropora spp. is extremely high diversity in rDNA sequences at both the species and individual levels. In order to test the hypothesis that pseudogenes may contribute to this diversity, three kinds of analyses were conducted. First, for A. millepora (the species containing the most diverse suite of rDNA types), RT-PCR was used to determine which 5.8S rDNA types are expressed....
