Abstract

During the last decade comparative sequence analysis of homologous conserved molecules or genes allowed a comprehensive inside in the evolution of organisms. The primary structure of phylogenetic marker molecules consists of an alternating sequence of highly conserved to highly variable regions reflecting the various stages of evolutionary history. As an attempt to determine the phylogenetic information of individual sequence positions an alignment of 70 large subunit ribosomal RNA sequences was analyzed for conservation, covariations, structure, and functional elements. Examples of typical structure elements are discussed with respect to the reconstruction of phylogenetic trees.
