Sequence characterization of the 5S ribosomal DNA and the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region in four European Donax species (Bivalvia: Donacidae)

Abstract Background The whole repeat unit of 5S rDNA and the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) of four European Donax species were analysed. After amplifying, cloning and sequencing several 5S and ITS units, their basic features and their variation were described. The phylogenetic usefulness of 5S a...
