Variation and in vitro splicing of group I introns in rRNA genes of Pneumocystis carinii.

Nucleic acids research - 25 May 1993

Liu Y, Leibowitz M J

Abstract excerpt

The sequences of the rRNA genes of Pneumocystis carinii from rat and human sources demonstrate three distinct genotypes based on the group I introns present in these genes. One rat isolate (Pc1) contains such introns in its 16S and 26S rRNA genes, while another rat isolate (Pc2) and a human isola...
