Evolution of ribosomal internal transcribed spacers in Deuterostomia

Evolution of ribosomal internal transcribed spacers in Deuterostomia.

Sequences of ribosomal internal transcribed spacers (ITSs) are of great importance to molecular phylogenetics and DNA barcoding, but remain unstudied in some large taxa of Deuterostomia. We have analyzed complete ITS1 and ITS2 sequences in 62 species from 16 Deuterostomia classes, with ITS sequences in 24 species from 11 classes initially obtained using unannotated contigs and raw read sequence...

Analysis of Mammalian rDNA Internal Transcribed Spacers

Nuclear rDNA Internal Transcribed Spacers, ITS1 and ITS2, are widely used for eukaryote phylogenetic studies from the ordinal level to the species level, and there is even a database for ITS2 sequences. However, ITS regions have been ignored in mammalian phylogenetic studies, and only a few rodent and ape sequences are represented in GenBank. The reasons for this dearth, and the remedies, are d...

Detection of Leptosphaeria Korrae with Pcr and Primers from the Ribosomal Internal Transcribed Spacers

Leptosphaeria korrae, the causal agent of necrotic ring spot, is a destructive patch disease of Kentucky bluegrass. To develop a rapid molecular test for the detection of this pathogen, an assay based on the polymerase chain reaction was developed utilizing the internal transcribed spacer region 1 (ITS 1) of L. korrae ribosomal DNA. DNA sequence comparison showed 94.8% similarity of the ITS 1 r...
