Abstract
18S ribosomal RNA in X. laevis is 1825 nucleotides long, as inferred from sequence analysis of an 18S gene. All the 40 rRNA methyl groups can be located in the sequence. Comparison with the yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) 18S sequence reveals extensive regions of high homology interspersed with tracts having little or no homology. Regions of high homology contain almost all the RNA methyl groups. Major regions of low homology are considerably richer in C + G in Xenopus than in yeast.Keywords
