Small ribosomal subunit RNA sequences, evolutionary relationships among different life forms, and mitochondrial origins.

Journal of molecular evolution - 1 May 1990

Abstract excerpt

A tree was constructed from a structurally conserved area in an alignment of 83 small ribosomal subunit sequences of eukaryotic, archaebacterial, eubacterial, plastidial, and mitochondrial origin. The algorithm involved computation and optimization of a dissimilarity matrix. According to the tree...
