Figure 5

ITS2 secondary structure of Lysandra syriaca. In the distal loop of helix I.b an insertion of nucleotides is present in the genus Lysandra . Based on homology modelling with a template in which these nucleotides are absent (Neolysandra ), the nucleotide insertions remain unpaired. This is a distinctive feature for the genus.
