Alignments of genes encoding the 5.8S ribosomal RNA. The species examined are shown at the left before the sequences. Nucleotides highlighted in green differ from those found at the corresponding position in the consensus sequence. Dashes indicate gaps introduced to improve the alignment, dots to sequence that was not identified. Capitalized letters in the consensus sequence indicate the extent of the 5.8S RNA in D. melanogaster. The three underlined nucleotides highlighted in yellow in the Anopheles consensus sequence point to the terminal nucleotides of the three RNA species identified through the analysis of RNAseq experiments. The base numbering refers to the consensus sequence.
