Journal ArticleDOI
Structure of the small ribosomal subunit RNA of the pulmonate snail, Limicolaria kambeul, and phylogenetic analysis of the Metazoa.
TL;DR: The complete nucleotide sequence of the small ribosomal subunit RNA of the gastropod, Limicolaria kambeul, was determined and used to infer a secondary structure model, and the Mollusca appear to be a monophyletic group, related to Arthropoda and Chordata in an unresolved trichotomy.
Journal ArticleDOI
The 5S ribosomal RNA sequences of a red algal rhodoplast and a gymnosperm chloroplast. Implications for the evolution of plastids and cyanobacteria.

TL;DR: An evolutionary picture points to the occurrence of multiple endosymbiotic events, with the ancestors of the present algal plastids already established as photosynthetic endosYmbionts at a time when the ancestorsof the present land plant chloroplasts were still free-living cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sequences of the 5S rRNAs of Azotobacter vinelandii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Pseudomonas fluorescens with some notes on 5S RNA secondary structure.
TL;DR: Pseudomonas fluorescens is examined, and it is found to be in error, and the corrected sequence fit perfectly in the 5 S RNA sequence alignment and in the five-helix secondary structure model.
Journal ArticleDOI
The origin of red algae and cryptomonad nucleomorphs: A comparative phylogeny based on small and large subunit rRNA sequences of Palmaria palmata, Gracilaria verrucosa, and the Guillardia theta nucleomorph.
TL;DR: The results support the hypothesis that the cryptomonad plastid is derived from a primitive red alga, in that an ancient common ancestor of rhodophytes and Cryptomonad nucleomorphs is indicated.
Journal ArticleDOI
The 18S ribosomal RNA sequence of the sea anemone Anemonia sulcata and its evolutionary position among other eukaryotes
TL;DR: The complete srRNA sequence of the sea anemone Ammonia sulcata was determined and evolutionary trees were constructed using a matrix optimization method, resulting in a monophyletic cluster that forms the first line of descent of the metazoan group.
