Wide occurrence of SSU rDNA intragenomic polymorphism in foraminifera and its implications for molecular species identification.
Protist - 1 Sept 2014
Weber Alexandra Anh-Thu, Pawlowski Jan
Abstract excerpt
Ribosomal DNA is commonly used as a marker for protist phylogeny and taxonomy because of its ubiquity and its expected species specificity thanks to the mechanism of concerted evolution. However, numerous studies reported the occurrence of intragenomic (intra-individual) polymorphism in various protists and particularly in Foraminifera. To infer to what extent the SSU rDNA intragenomic variability occurs in...
