An unusually compact ribosomal DNA repeat in the protozoanGiardia lamblia [PDF]
Nucleic Acids Research, 1987 The ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes of the protozoan parasite Giardia lamblia have been analyzed with respect to size, composition and copy number. They are found to be remarkable in several respects. First, the rRNAs themselves are the smallest yet reported for any eukaryotic organism.
