Evolutionary rates vary among rRNA structural elements.

Nucleic acids research - 1 Jan 2007

Smit S, Widmann J, Knight R

Abstract excerpt

Understanding patterns of rRNA evolution is critical for a number of fields, including structure prediction and phylogeny. The standard model of RNA evolution is that compensatory mutations in stems make up the bulk of the changes between homologous sequences, while unpaired regions are relatively homogeneous. We show that considerable heterogeneity exists in the relative rates of evolution of different secondary...
