Molecular evolution of the mtDNA encoded rps3 gene among filamentous ascomycetes fungi with an emphasis on the Ophiostomatoid fungi.

Abstract excerpt

The mitochondrial ribosomal protein S3 (rps3) gene within the fungi is extremely diverse in location and organization, some versions of this gene have been incorporated into a group I intron, others appear to have gained large insertions, microsatellite expansions, or have been invaded by homing endonucleases. Among the ascomycetes fungi the group I intron encoded version of rps3 appears to have a rather complex...
