Large variations in bacterial ribosomal RNA genes.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Oct 2012

Lim Kyungtaek, Furuta Yoshikazu, Kobayashi Ichizo

Abstract excerpt

Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes, essential to all forms of life, have been viewed as highly conserved and evolutionarily stable, partly because very little is known about their natural variations. Here, we explored large-scale variations of rRNA genes through bioinformatic analyses of available complete bacterial genomic sequences with an emphasis on formation mechanisms and biological significance. Interestingly, we...
