Mapping of the Xenopus laevis 5.8S rDNA by restriction and DNA sequencing
Nucleic Acids Research
|April 1, 1978
Abstract:
The location of the 5.88 rDNA within the internal transcribed spacer has been found by restriction and sequence analysis. These analyses indicate the deletion of a dinucleotide from the known rRNA sequence. Regions to the 5' and 3' of the gene contain both uncommon sequences and palindromic structures which might provide potential control points. A secondary structure model is suggested for the 5.8S rRNA incorporating the flanking sequences.
