Evolution and phylogenetic information content of the ITS-1 region in the tiger beetle Cicindela dorsalis.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 May 1994

Vogler A P, DeSalle R

Abstract excerpt

Sequence divergence in the internal transcribed spacer region 1 (ITS-1) of the ribosomal DNA locus was assessed in subspecies of the coastal North American tiger beetle, Cicindela dorsalis. The spacer region was amplified using the polymerase chain reaction and cloned for sequencing. Of a total o...
