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

The small size of the animal mitochondrial genome (about 17 kilobasc-pairs in most
metazoan animals, or roughly 0.001% of the total length of mammalian nuclear DNA), belies …

Analyses of mitochondrial and nuclear gene sequences have often produced different
mammalian tree topologies, undermining confidence in the merit of molecular approaches …

Mitochondria, semi-autonomous organelles possessing their own genetic system, are
commonly accepted to descend from free-living eubacteria, namely hydrogen-producing …

Animal mitochondrial DNA is a small, extrachromosomal genome, typically∼ 16 kb in size.
With few exceptions, all animal mitochondrial genomes contain the same 37 genes: two for …

Morphological and molecular data are currently contradictory over the position of
monotremes with respect to marsupial and placental mammals. As part of a re-evaluation of …

I've compiled this guide for anyone who might be interested in mitochondrial genomes,
especially their gene arrangements. This guide emphasizes animal mitochondrial genomes …

抄録 The phylogenetic relationships among Primates, Artiodactyla, Cetacea, Carnivora, and
Rodentia were estimated from the amino acid sequences of proteins encoded by the …

The evolution of two mitochondrial genes, cytochrome b and cytochrome c oxidase subunit
II, was examined in several eutherian mammal orders, with special emphasis on the orders …

Comparing complete animal mitochondrial genome sequences is becoming increasingly
common for phylogenetic reconstruction and as a model for genome evolution. Not only are …
