A highly variable portion of the mitochondrial DNA control region was sequenced in 63 free-
living and captive gorillas including representatives of the three recognized subspecies. This …

Mitochondrial DNA variation in 109 individuals from four populations of wild living gorillas in
East Africa was ascertained by sequencing the first hypervariable segment of the control …

Eastern lowland gorillas (Gorilla gorilla graueri) are the least studied of the three gorilla
subspecies, particularly at the molecular level. We sequenced an internal region of the …

We cloned and sequenced a segment of mitochondrial DNA from human, chimpanzee,
gorilla, orangutan, and gibbon. This segment is 896 bp in length, contains the genes for …

The geographical distribution of genetic variation within western lowland gorillas (Gorilla
gorilla gorilla) was examined to clarify the population genetic structure and recent …

We determined nucleotide sequences of homologous 0.9-kb fragments of mitochondrial
DNAs (mtDNAs) derived from four species of old-world monkeys, one species of new-world …

Great ape systematics, particularly at the species level and below, is currently under debate,
due in part to the recent influx of molecular data. The phylogenies of previously published …

The high rate of evolution of mitochondrial DNA makes this molecule suitable for
genealogical research on such closely related species as humans and apes. Because …

Ape species are 2-10 times more variable than the human species with respect to the
nucleotide sequence of mtDNA, even though ape populations have been smaller than the …

The complete mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) molecule of the gorilla was sequenced. The
entire sequence, 16,412 nucleotides, was determined by analysis of natural (not polymerase …
