A new statistical method for estimating divergence dates of species from DNA sequence
data by a molecular clock approach is developed. This method takes into account effectively …

Divergence dates among primates were estimated by molecular clock analysis of DNA
sequence data. A molecular clock of η-globin pseudogene was calibrated by setting the date …

A molecular clock analysis was carried out on the nucleotide sequences of parts of the major
noncoding region of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) from the major geographic populations of …

Protein-coding genes of the mitochondrial genomes from 31 mammalian species were
analyzed to estimate the speciation dates within primates and also between rats and mice …

As there is evidence that the nucleotide substitution rate of globin gene region in nuclear
DNA has decreased in Hominoidea compared to Cercopithecoidea, we have developed a …

Based on mitochondrial DNA (mt-DNA) sequence data from a wide range of primate
species, branching order in the evolution of primates was inferred by the maximum …

The complete mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) molecule of the hamadryas baboon, Papio
hamadryas, was sequenced and included in a molecular analysis of 24 complete …

Several estimates of the time of occurrence of the most recent common mitochondrial DNA
(mtDNA) ancestor of modern humans have been made. Estimates derived from noncoding …

The approximate constancy of the rate of change is one feature of molecular evolution. It is
consistent with the neutral theory1 and serves as a clock to date a divergence time of …

The internal branch lengths estimated by distance methods such as neighbor joining are
shown to be biased to be short when the evolutionary rate differs among sites. The variable …
