Extensive Pyrosequencing Reveals Frequent Intra-Genomic Variations of Internal Transcribed Spacer Regions of Nuclear Ribosomal DNA
BACKGROUND Internal transcribed spacer of nuclear ribosomal DNA (nrDNA) is already one of the most popular phylogenetic and DNA barcoding markers. However, the existence of its multiple copies has complicated such usage and a detailed characterization of intra-genomic variations is critical to address such concerns. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS In this study, we used sequence-tagged pyroseq...
متن کاملIntra-specific heterogeneity of the rDNA internal transcribed spacer in the Simulium damnosum (Diptera: Simuliidae) complex.
The internal transcribed spacer (ITS) of the rRNA gene cluster has been used as a model for the study of the action of concerted evolution and molecular drive on repeated sequence families. In contrast to this general finding, preliminary DNA sequence analysis of cloned representatives of the ITS from the West African black fly species complex Simulium damnosum s.1. demonstrated extensive intra...
متن کاملNuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer 1 (ITS1) variation in the Anastrepha fraterculus cryptic species complex (Diptera, Tephritidae) of the Andean region
The nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer 1 (ITS1) was sequenced for Anastrepha fraterculus (Wiedemann, 1830) originating from 85 collections from the northern and central Andean countries of South America including Argentina (Tucumán), Bolivia, Perú, Ecuador, Colombia, and Venezuela. The ITS1 regions of additional specimens (17 collections) from Central America (México, Guatemala, Cost...
متن کاملLimits of nuclear ribosomal DNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences as species barcodes for Fungi.
In PNAS, the work by Schoch et al. (1) proposed nuclear ribosomal DNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences as the sole universal barcode for fungi. The work by Schoch et al. (1) stated that “the proposal will satisfy most fungal biologists but not all” (1). I am among those biologists who are not so satisfied and not really surprised either, because ITS has been the most widely used mark...
متن کاملPhylogenetic classification of Trichophyton mentagrophytes complex strains based on DNA sequences of nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer 1 regions.
Using internal transcribed spacer 1 (ITS1) region ribosomal DNA sequences from 37 stock strains and clinical isolates provisionally termed Trichophyton mentagrophytes complex in Japan, we demonstrated the mutual phylogenetic relationships of these strains. Members of this complex were classified into 3 ITS1-homologous groups and 13 ITS1-identical groups by their sequences. ITS1-homologous group...
