overview

These data support: A Secondary Structural Model of the 28S rRNA Expansion Segments D2 and D3 for Chalcidoid Wasps (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea). Joseph J. Gillespie, James B. Munro, John M. Heraty, Matthew J. Yoder, Albert K. Owen, and Andrew E. Carmichael. Mol Biol Evol 2005 22: 1593-1608.

Funding for this project comes from NSF PEET grants DEB-9978150 (John Heraty), DEB-0328922 (Robert Wharton), and DEB-0328920 (Anthony Cognato).

Notes

We analyze the secondary structure of two expansion segments (D2, D3) of the 28S rRNA gene from 527 chalcidoid wasp sequences (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea) representing 18 of the 19 extant families. The full abstract is available here.
