Recent large-scale nuclear DNA phylogenies have supported unconventional interordinal
relationships among modern eutherians as well as divergence dates (100 mya) that …

The strict orthology of mitochondrial (mt) coding sequences has promoted their use in
phylogenetic analyses at different levels. Here we present the results of a mitogenomic study …

Background Traditionally, most studies employing data from whole mitochondrial genomes
to diagnose relationships among the major lineages of mammals have attempted to exclude …

Extensive phylogenetic analyses of the updated sequence data of mammalian mitochondrial
genomes were carried out using the maximum likelihood method in order to resolve deep …

Mitochondrial genomes are being used to study increasingly ancient divergences among
animal groups. Recent studies of complete mitochondrial DNA sequences have arrived at …

The complete mitochondrial genome of Tupaia belangeri, a representative of the eutherian
order Scandentia, was determined and compared with full-length mitochondrial sequences …

The phylogenetic relationship among primates, ferungulates (artiodactyls+ cetaceans+
perissodactyls+ carnivores), and rodents was examined using proteins encoded by the H …

The complete mitochondrial genomes of two microbats, the horseshoe bat Rhinolophus
pumilus, and the Japanese pipistrelle Pipistrellus abramus, and that of an insectivore, the …

Sequences from nuclear mitochondrial pseudogenes (numts) that originated by transfer of
genetic information from mitochondria to the nucleus offer a unique opportunity to compare …

With the advent of DNA sequencing techniques the organization of the vertebrate
mitochondrial genome shows variation between higher taxonomic levels. The most …
