The publications in which sequences were provided to the DNA databases are given in the attached pages.
Specific pages are currently provided for (1) the nuclear 18S rRNA gene, and (2) the mitochondrial 16-S like rRNA gene. Other publication lists will likely be added in the future as information on other genes accumulates.
