Abstract excerpt
We report variation in the rDNA internal transcribed spacers (ITSs) of aphid species, the first for these insects. Variation at 6 sites within ITS1 sequences of the green peach aphid, Myzus persicae, identified two haplotypes coexisting within the same individuals, indicating that molecular drive has not homogenised different copies of rDNA. During this study, we found that PCR can cause a precise 58-bp loss in...
