title: Fragmentary 5S rRNA gene in the human mitochondrial genome.
abstract: The human mitochondrial genome contains a 23-nucleotide sequence that is homologous to a part of the 5S rRNA's of bacteria. This homology, the structure of the likely transcript, and the location of the sequence relative to the mitochondrial rRNA genes suggest that the sequence represents a fragmentary 5S rRNA gene.
