| Abstract |
Southern hybridisation, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and nucleotide sequence, data indicate that the 5s ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene is linked to the main rRNA gene repeat in the nuclear genome of four cryptomonad algae (Rhinomonas pauca, Storeatula major, Komma caudata, and isolate Cs 134). The 5s gene is apparently transcribed in the same direction as the large and small subunit rRNA genes. The intergenic spacer between the 5s gene and the large subunit rRNA gene exhibits length and sequence polymorphism among the different species. Cryptomonads contain two different eukaryotic genomes: the host nucleus and the nucleus of a eukaryotic endosymbiont. Mapping experiments with isolated chromosomes of the host and endosymbiont genomes showed that the intergenic spacer between the large subunit and the 5s rRNA gene, which was amplified from total DNA by PCR, was derived from the host nuclear genome. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 18 February 2013.
All research outputs
#7,454,427
of 22,789,566 outputs
Outputs from Current Genetics
#329
of 1,203 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#16,338
of 76,365 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Current Genetics
#2
of 12 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,789,566 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 44th percentile – i.e., 44% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,203 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.3. This one is in the 39th percentile – i.e., 39% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 76,365 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 20th percentile – i.e., 20% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 12 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
