Evaluation of the complete nuclear rDNA unit sequence of the jellyfish Cyanea nozakii Kishinouye (Scyphozoa: Semaeostomeae) for molecular discrimination

The harmful jellyfish Cyanea nozakii Kishinouye has frequently occurred on Korean coasts, and its blooms have caused serious ecological and economic damages. DNA sequences of the C. nozakii for molecular detection and discrimination are relatively scarce. In this study, we determined the complete se...

description The harmful jellyfish Cyanea nozakii Kishinouye has frequently occurred on Korean coasts, and its blooms have caused serious ecological and economic damages.
