On the phylogenetic relationship of South African species of Cladophora (Chlorophyta) based on the 26S (LSU) gene region
In order to delineate the genus Cladophora in South Africa, several sites along the Cape peninsula were sampled and sequences for the partial26S region of the rRNA were obtained and a phylogram was constructed. The aims of this study were to provide a robust phylogenetic tree describing the …

Phylogenetics and New Approaches to Vaccine Development for West Nile
… in 2001. The genome of this virus named LSU-AR01was sequenced and a detailed genetic analysis revealed 26 amino acid changes in comparison to the prototypic New York-99 strain. Phylogenetic analysis using Neighbor-joining and the Bayesian approach showed that LSU-AR01 was closely related …

The ecology, life history, and phylogeny of the marine thecate heterotrophic dinoflagellates Protoperidinium and Diplopsalidaceae (Dinophyceae)
… field samples. The large subunit ribosomal DNA (LSU rDNA) molecular phylogeny of the heterotrophic dinoflagellates revealed that the genus Protoperidinium appeared to be recently diverged within the dinoflagellates. In maximum parsimony and neighbor joining analysis, Protoperidinium formed a …

Molecular phylogeny of Melanospora and Diaporthales, and population genetics of dogwood anthracnose fungus
… small and large subunit RNA genes (SSU and LSU nrDNA) and deduced amino acid sequences of a subunit of RNA polymerase II gene (RPB2) indicated that five genera previously considered in Ceratostomataceae of Sordariales were related to Hypocreales. Melanospora (including the type) and a genus …

Structural Studies of the Nucleolar Stages of Ribosome Biogenesis in Yeast
… a small subunit (SSU, 40S) and a large subunit (LSU, 60S). At the interface of these subunits, the mRNA is decoded by the small subunit and peptide bond formation is catalyzed by the rRNA of the large subunit. The cell therefore requires the timely and accurate assembly of functional ribosomal …

Molecular phylogenetics of the Metazoan clade Lophotrochozoa
… and Bivalvia as sister taxa. Chapter 3 utilizes LSU rDNA sequences to analyze relationships between diverse phyla within the clade Lophotrochozoa. LSU rDNA sequences were found to provide greater resolution than has been provided by previous analyses of the nuclear small-subunit ribosomal RNA …
