Abstract excerpt
The internal transcribed spacer (ITS) of the ribosomal DNA is generally considered to be under low functional constraint, and it is therefore often treated as a typical nonfunctional spacer sequence. We have analyzed the ITS regions of five species from the Drosophila melanogaster subgroup, two D...
