Ribosomal DNA in the grasshopper Podisma pedestris: escape from concerted evolution.

Genetics - 1 Oct 2006

Keller Irene, Chintauan-Marquier Ioana C, Veltsos Paris, Nichols Richard A

Abstract excerpt

Eukaryote nuclear ribosomal DNA (rDNA) typically exhibits strong concerted evolution: a pattern in which several hundred rDNA sequences within any one species show little or no genetic diversity, whereas the sequences of different species diverge. We report a markedly different pattern in the genome of the grasshopper Podisma pedestris. Single individuals contain several highly divergent ribosomal DNA groups....
