The two variable domains D1 and D2 near the 5 end of the 28S ribosomal RNA gene (large subunit rRNA) have been sequenced for Vespa crabro. The sequence was aligned to corresponding rDNA regions of the wasp species Nasonia vitripennis, Melittobia digitata and the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster. We analysed the nucleotide composition and sequence similarity for the different regions of the investigated sequences and present the inferred secondary structure of Vespa crabro .
