Abstract excerpt

We compared 16S-like ribosomal RNA (rRNA) coding regions of samples of the solitary spumellarian radiolarian Thalassicolla nucleata collected from the Sargasso Sea and the Pacific Ocean. Sequences derived from these locations showed variability in both length and base-pair composition. This level...
