Abstract excerpt
Here, the validity of the assumption of concerted evolution of ribosomal regions in larval and adult Cooperia oncophora was assessed. In each of 4 individuals of this parasitic nematode, at least 78% of the sequences comprised different ITS variants. This implies that concerted evolution is not acting, which is corroborated by the scarcity of signatures of gene conversion and recombination. Mis-incorporation of...
