Abstract
A complete zebrafish mitochondrial 16S ribosomal RNA gene was assembled fro m our existing zebrafish EST clones by aligning them with the carp mitochon dria 16S rRNA sequence. The overall homology between our assembled zebrafis h mt 16S rRNA and the carp mt 16S rRNA is 83.5%. As the number of zebrafish ESTs grows, the assembly of more full-length cDNA sequences from overlappi ng EST data could be expected.
