Predicted secondary structure of the rrnS gene in the A. dohrni mitogenome. Regions in red indicate high variability in the three assassin bugs. Region in green displays a new predicated helix (H47') compared with A. mellifera ¹⁹. Regions in blue show sequence variability (base insertions and deletions) in the three assassin bugs. Regions in purple and parts (a-c) show the new proposed structures in V. hoffmanni. Roman numerals denote the conserved domain structure. Dashed (-) indicate Watson-Crick base pairing and dot (•) indicate G-U base pairing. Structural annotations follow Fig. 2.
