| Description | The sequence of the Gyrodatylus salaris Malmberg, 1957, large subunit, or 28S, ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene has been determined. This gene is the final portion of the Gyrodactylus rRNA gene operon to be sequenced and results in the fist complete sequence of all rRNA genes and spacers from a monogenean. The nucleotide sequence was used to predict the secondary structure of the large subunit rRNA, and regions of conserved and variable sequence and structure were identified. |
