A PCR-based approach to sequencing complete mitochondrial genomes is described along
with a set of 86 primers designed primarily for avian mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). This PCR …

Recent development of a PCR‐based approach for sequencing vertebrate mitochondrial
genomes has attracted much attention as being more rapid and economical than traditional …

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

Inter-species and intraspecific variations in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) were observed in a
bioinformatics analysis of the mitochondrial genomic sequences of 11 animal species. Some …

Segments of the Japanese quail mito-chondrial genome encompassing many tRNA and
protein genes, the small and part of the large rRNA genes, and the control region have been …

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 …

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

Animal mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is playing an increasingly important role as a genetic
marker in population and evolutionary biology. The popularity of this molecule derives, in …

In the past decade, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) analysis has become es-tablished as a
powerful tool for evolutionary studies of animals. These studies, recently reviewed by Avise …

Gene tree paraphyly is a potentially serious problem because many phylogenetic and
phylogeographic studies assume species are monophyletic. Funk and Omland (Funk, DJ …
