Background Mitochondrial DNA-derived sequences have become popular markers for
evolutionary studies, as their comparison may yield significant insights into the evolution of …

The complete mitochondrial (mt) genome of the ark shell Scapharca broughtonii was
determined using long PCR and a genome walking sequencing strategy with genus-specific …

Moreover, the accuracy of phylogenetic inferences can be tested against the history
recorded by the fossil record. Although there are other well-supported (and generally …

Although relatively a large number of the complete mitochondrial genome sequences have
been determined from various decapod species (29 mtDNA sequences reported so far), the …

The complete mitogenome sequence of the spotted steed (Hemibarbus maculatus) was
determined using long PCR reactions. The genome is 16,611 bp long and consists of 13 …

The whale shark (Rhincodon typus) is an iconic and endangered species with a broad
distribution spanning warm-temperate and tropical oceans. Effective conservation …

It is commonly acknowledged that cartilaginous fishes, Chondrichthyes, have a basal
position among the Gnathostomata (jawed vertebrates). In order to explore this relationship …

Cichlid fishes have played an important role in evolutionary biology and aquaculture
industry. Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus), blue tilapia (Oreochromis aureus) and …

Abstract Background The whale shark (Rhincodon typus) has by far the largest body size of
any elasmobranch (shark or ray) species. Therefore, it is also the largest extant species of …

The complete mitochondrial genome of the yellowfin seabream Acanthopagrus latus was
determined in the present study. The genome was 16,609 bp in length and contained 37 …
