Dv. Mukha et al., Analysis of differences in ribosomal DNA structure between two sibling species: Drosophila melanogaster and Drosophila simulans, RUSS J GEN, 35(12), 1999, pp. 1394-1397
Southern-blot hybridization studies have revealed structural differences wi
thin the ribosomal DNA clusters of two sibling species, Drosophila melanoga
ster and Drosophila simulans. The approach used was shown to be suitable fo
r taxonomic identification of the species examined.
