Phylogenetic Utility of rRNA ITS2 Sequence-Structure under Functional Constraint

Phylogenetic Utility of rRNA ITS2 Sequence-Structure under Functional Constraint

The crucial function of the internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) region in ribosome biogenesis depends on its secondary and tertiary structures. Despite rapidly evolving, ITS2 is under evolutionary constraints to maintain the specific secondary structures that provide functionality. A link between f...
