Sequence comparisons were made for up to 667 bp of DNA cloned from 14 kinds of
Hawaiian Drosophila and five other dipteran species. These sequences include parts of the …

To test hypotheses of neutral evolution of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), nucleotide
sequences were determined for 1515 base pairs of the NADH dehydrogenase subunit 5 …

We have compared nucleotide sequences of corresponding segments of the mitochondrial
DNA (mtDNA) molecules of Drosophila yakuba and Drosophila melanogaster, which contain …

In this study, a comparative genomics approach is employed to investigate the forces that
shape evolutionary change in the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) of members of the Drosophila …

The nucleotide sequences of a segment of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) have been
determined for nine species or subspecies of the subgenus Drosophila of the genus …

Two patterns are presented that illustrate the interaction of mutation and selection in the
evolution of animal mtDNA: 1) variation among taxa in the ratio of polymorphism to …

The colonization of the New World by the Palearctic species Drosophila subobscura was
first detected in 1978 in South America and around 1982 in western North America. The …

While the majority of DNA in eukaryotes is in the nucleus, a small but functionally significant
amount is found in organelles such as chloroplasts and mitochondria. A recent, rather …

We examine mitochondrial DNA variation at the cytochrome b locus within and between
three species of Drosophila to determine whether patterns of variation conform to the …

The existence of a lineage-specific nucleotide substitution rate in mammalian mtDNA has
been investigated by analyzing the mtDNA of all available species, that is, 35 complete …
