Birth-and-Death Evolution and Reticulation of ITS Segments of Metschnikowia andauensis and Metschnikowia fructicola rDNA Repeats

The internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region (ITS1, 5.8S rDNA, and ITS2) separates the genes coding for the SSU 18S and the LSU 26S genes in the rDNA units which are organized into long tandem arrays in the overwhelming majority of fungi. As members of a multigenic family, these units are subject of...
