Sy. Moon et al., SEQUENCE OF THE 18S-RIBOSOMAL RNA-ENCODING GENE OF THE CRUSTACEAN PHILYRA-PISUM - LONGER SEQUENCES OF DECAPODS IN THE V9 REGION, Gene, 149(2), 1994, pp. 379-380
The complete sequence of the 18S rRNA gene of Philyra pisum was determ
ined by using PCR cloning and Taq sequencing. The sequence was compare
d with those known from other crustaceans. The decapods (Oedignathus i
nermis, Pugettia quadridens, Philyra pisum) were distinguished from th
e other crustaceans (Artemia salina, Bosmina longirostris, Diastylis s
p.) by longer sequences (17-41 bp) in the V9 region.
