Abstract excerpt
We analyzed partial sequences (approx. 630 bp) of the 18S nuclear ribosomal RNA gene (rDNA) in the Japanese Eothenomys voles, E. andersoni and E. smithii, to evaluate their evolutionary complexity. There were two rDNA types of sequences with a few substitutions and an indel, and both species alternatively carried one of the two rDNA types, irrespective of their classifications. One of the rDNA types was mainly...
