From: 18S rRNA variability maps reveal three highly divergent, conserved motifs within Rotifera
Data set | Between paired positions | Stems vs. loops | Non-hypervariable vs. hypervariable regions – counts of constant vs. variable | Non-hypervariable vs. hypervariable regions – rates | Among hypervariable as well as pooled non-hypervariable regions |
