The IGS-ETS in Bacillus (Insecta Phasmida): molecular characterization and the relevance of sex in ribosomal DNA evolution.

BMC evolutionary biology - 9 Oct 2008

Ricci Andrea, Scali Valerio, Passamonti Marco

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: DNA encoding for ribosomal RNA (rDNA) is arranged in tandemly-repeated subunits, each containing ribosomal genes and non-coding spacers. Because tandemly-repeated, rDNA evolves under a balanced influence of selection and "concerted evolution", which homogenizes rDNA variants over the genome (through genomic turnover mechanisms) and the population (through sexuality). RESULTS: In this paper we analyzed...
