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...
