Characterization of cDNA encoding a L37a ribosomal protein from Taenia crassiceps and its potential use in phylogenetic reconstructions

Exp Parasitol. 2002 Aug;101(4):240-2. doi: 10.1016/s0014-4894(02)00144-3.

Abstract

In this study, we characterized for the first time the complete sequence of a L37a cDNA from a cestode specie: Taenia crassiceps. A phylogenetic analysis of L37a ribosomal proteins from distant animal species is presented and the potential use of such proteins in molecule-based phylogeny is discussed.
