Abstract
Domains differing in the degree of evolutionary conservatism were reve aled within the 17S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) sequence from Tetrahymena pyr iformis by means of computer analysis. The method proposed allows evol ution of rDNA structure to be studied in eukaryotes. Superconservative regions revealed within the DNA sequence tested can be used to constr uct universal primers for studying rDNA structure in various taxa by m eans of polymerase chain reaction (PCR).
