A Unique Box in 28S rRNA Is Shared by the Enigmatic Insect Order Zoraptera and Dictyoptera
Figure 5
Secondary structure model of the 28S rRNA 3′-half of Zoraptera.
This sequence is from Zorotypus huxleyi [Genbank:JN192451]. The length-variable regions are indicated in red. And the unique indels are marked with green color. The Da–Dj numbering system for LVRs, which has not been taken into account previously, is a supplementary system to the D1–D12 coding system. Base pairing is indicated as follows: standard canonical pairs by lines (C-G, G-C, A-U, U-A); wobble G·U pairs by dots (G·U); A·G and A·C pairs by open circles (A G, A C); other non-canonical pairs by filled circles (e.g., U•U).
