Southern blot analysis of ribosomal DNA (rDNA) from seven species of Apodemus was carried out in order to examine the genetic relationships between the species. Analysis of heterogeneity in rDNA spacers in A. sylvaticus, A. flavicollis, A. semotus, A. agrarius, A. argenteus, A. speciosus, and A. peninsulae, using 13 different restriction enzymes and cloned mouse rDNA probes, revealed that the families of rDNA in these species can be characterized by restriction maps which show the major constituents of rDNA repeating units (repetypes). Based on differences in the arrangement of restriction sites, sequence divergence among the different major repetypes was estimated. Among the seven species of Apodemus examined, the major repetypes of A. flavicollis and A. sylvaticus were the most closely related, having only 1.0% sequence divergence. These repetypes and those of the remaining five species differ substantially from one another, with 4.3-8.5% divergence.

D004275 DNA, Ribosomal DNA sequences encoding RIBOSOMAL RNA and the segments of DNA separating the individual ribosomal RNA genes, referred to as RIBOSOMAL SPACER DNA. Ribosomal DNA,rDNA
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA. Animal,Metazoa,Animalia
D013045 Species Specificity The restriction of a characteristic behavior, anatomical structure or physical system, such as immune response; metabolic response, or gene or gene variant to the members of one species. It refers to that property which differentiates one species from another but it is also used for phylogenetic levels higher or lower than the species. Species Specificities,Specificities, Species,Specificity, Species
D015139 Blotting, Southern A method (first developed by E.M. Southern) for detection of DNA that has been electrophoretically separated and immobilized by blotting on nitrocellulose or other type of paper or nylon membrane followed by hybridization with labeled NUCLEIC ACID PROBES. Southern Blotting,Blot, Southern,Southern Blot
