Abstract excerpt
Background: In the 28S rRNA molecule of many invertebrates, a hidden break splits this large subunit into two noncovalently associated fragments (28Sa and 28Sb), masking 28S in electrophoretic profiles and biasing the standard measurements of RNA quality in extracted tissue samples. Pancrustacean diversity in RNA hidden breaks remains incompletely surveyed, particularly for Oligostraca. Methods: We sampled 12...
