Abstract
We analyzed all archaebacterial and eukaryotic 5S rRNA sequences using the method of statistical geometry in sequence space. Special emphasis was put on the analysis of the evolutionary relationships of eukaryotes.
We show that the evolutionary tree of the major groups of eukaryotic 5S rRNA sequences exhibits a more or less bush like structure compared with the archaebacterial sequences and certain classes of well defined biological eukaryotic groups.
