Abstract excerpt
A rapid method, using 12 restriction enzymes, was employed to analyze variations in ribosomal DNA (rDNA) spacers in a study of phylogenetic relationships between Homo sapiens and related species. We mapped restriction sites in the external and internal spacer regions and compared the arrangements of sites. The estimated sequence divergence between Homo sapiens and Pan troglodytes, Pan paniscus, Gorilla gorilla,...
