Ribosomal intergenic spacer (IGS) length variation across the Drosophilinae (Diptera: Drosophilidae).

BMC evolutionary biology - 19 Aug 2005

Mateos Mariana, Markow Therese A

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The intergenic spacer of the ribosomal genes in eukaryotes (IGS) contains duplications of the core transcription promoter. The number of these duplicated promoters, as measured by the IGS length, appears to be correlated with growth rate and development time in several distantly related taxa. In the present study, we examined IGS length variation across a number of species of Drosophila to determine...
