Evolutionary relationships among the eukaryotic crown taxa taking into account site-to-site rate variation in 18S rRNA.

Journal of molecular evolution - 1 Dec 1997

Abstract excerpt

In this study we constructed a bootstrapped distance tree of 500 small subunit ribosomal RNA sequences from organisms belonging to the so-called crown of eukaryote evolution. Taking into account the substitution rate of the individual nucleotides of the rRNA sequence alignment, our results sugges...
