Abstract excerpt
An intervening sequence (IVS) occurred in the 23S rRNA genes (rrl) of some, but not all, strains of four species of the spirochete genus Leptospira and was absent from strains in three other species. The IVS varied in size from 485 to 759 base pairs and replaced bases 1224-1245 in both copies of rrl. The two ends of each IVS shared 22-35 bases of complementarity that could form a stable double helix. The presence...
