Abstract excerpt
The 18S rRNA sequence was determined for two teleostean fish species, Fundulus heteroclitus and Sebastolobus altivelis, and two sharks, Squalus acanthias and Echinorhinus cookei. To study the molecular phylogeny of these taxa, the sequences were compared with 18S rRNA sequences of the Coelacanth Latimeria chalumnae, the frog Xenopus laevis, and humans. Maximum parsimony analysis of the sequences resulted in a...
