title: Sequences of the 18S rDNAs from two Collembolan insects: shorter sequences in the V4 and V7 regions.
abstract: The complete 18S rDNA sequences were determined for Hypogastrura sp. and Crossodonthina koreana (Insecta: Collembola) using PCR cloning and Taq dideoxy sequencing. These two wingless insects show high sequence similarity to each other, without large insertions and/or deletions, and are clearly distinguished from the two dipteran insects Drosophila melanogaster and Aedes albopictus by shorter sequences in the V4 (61-76 bp) and in the V7 (89-104 bp). regions.
