Diversity of 23S rRNA genes within individual prokaryotic genomes.

The concept of ribosomal constraints on rRNA genes is deduced primarily based on the comparison of consensus rRNA sequences between closely related species, but recent advances in whole-genome sequencing allow evaluation of this concept within organisms with multiple rRNA operons.Using the 23S rRNA...
