Abstract excerpt
A pseudogene bearing the bulk of the 18S RNA gene was detected outside the rDNA cluster. It comprised irregularly distributed nucleotide substitutions as well as short insertions and deletions. No sequence alterations were observed in the 5' region of the pseudogene, whereas the frequency of substitutions and alterations per nucleotide number in the 3' region and in the middle of the sequence was 7.6% and 1.8%,...
