The entire mitochondrial DNA control region (mtDNA CR) and cytochrome b (cyt b) genes were sequenced in 10 of the 11 extant species of gallopheasants (Lophura). The cyt b from L. diardi and L. ignita showed unusual leucine-coding codons at the expected terminal 3 end of the gene. Presence of conserv
We describe a repetitive DNA region at the 3' end of the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) control region and compare it in 21 carnivore species representing eight carnivore families. The sequence and organization of the repetitive motifs can differ extensively between arrays; however, all motifs appear to
