Sequence of the 18S ribosomal RNA-encoding gene of the crustacean Philyra pisum: longer sequences of decapods in the V9 region

Gene. 1994 Nov 18;149(2):379-80. doi: 10.1016/0378-1119(94)90182-1.

Abstract

The complete sequence of the 18S rRNA gene of Philyra pisum was determined by using PCR cloning and Taq sequencing. The sequence was compared with those known from other crustaceans. The decapods (Oedignathus inermis, Pugettia quadridens, Philyra pisum) were distinguished from the other crustaceans (Artemia salina, Bosmina longirostris, Diastylis sp.) by longer sequences (17-41 bp) in the V9 region.
