From: The mitochondrial and plastid genomes of Volvox carteri: bloated molecules rich in repetitive DNA
Schema of the L8 rRNA-coding module in the Volvox carteri mitochondrial genome and its relationship to that in the Chlamydomonas reinhardtii mtDNA. The grey bars in A denote regions of sequence identity between the L8 rRNA-coding modules of the V. carteri and C. reinhardtii mtDNA. B depicts the V. carteri L8 coding module in the context of the large-subunit (LSU) rRNA secondary-structure model; the orange arrow points to the repetitive region separating the L8a and L8b components of the L8 module. The LSU rRNA secondary-structure model is based on that of Boer and Gray [49].
