Chapter 12 Microbial Evolution and Systematics Ribosomal RNAs as Evolutionary Chronometers: The 16S rRNA or 18S rRNA Technique
Ribosomal rnas as evolutionary chronometers D Reasons: Ancient molecules Functionally constant Universally distributed Moderately well conserved in sequence across broad phylogenetic distances
Ribosomal RNAs as Evolutionary Chronometers Reasons: • Ancient molecules • Functionally constant • Universally distributed • Moderately well conserved in sequence across broad phylogenetic distances
The 16srRNA or 18S rRNA Technique 口 In Prokaryotes: SS rRNA is too small. contains limited info 23S rRNA iS too large, too difficult to manage 16srRNA has the right size for studies 口 In Eukaryotes 18S rRNA iS used for phylogenetic measurements
The 16S rRNA or 18S rRNA Technique In Prokaryotes: • 5S rRNA is too small, contains limited info • 23S rRNA is too large, too difficult to manage • 16S rRNA has the right size for studies In Eukaryotes: • 18S rRNA is used for phylogenetic measurements
