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

β¦ Synopsis
The complete nucleotide sequence of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase II (COII) gene was determined for five species of the honeybee (Genus: Apis): A. andrenifomnis, A. cerana, A. dorsata, A. fforea, and A. koschevnikovi; these were then compared to the known sequence of the A. millifera gene from Crozier et al.

Sequencing of a cytochrome oxidase II (COII) gene fragment in Bacillus taxa provided evidence that the bisexual B. rossius is the maternal ancestor of the hybridogenetic B. rossius-grandii strains and revealed the same ancestry for both parthenogenetic hybrids: the diploid B. whitei (B. rossius/gran
Partial DNA and amino acid sequences translated from the mitochondrial cytochrome subunit I gene (408 bp) of 17 mite species have been used for analyzing the phylogenetic relationships within the terrestrial Parasitengona (Trombidia). Due to mutational saturation of the third codon position, only fi
The evolutionary relationships of pond frogs distributed in the Far East and Europe were investigated by analyses of nucleotide sequences of mitochondrial 12S ribosomal RNA (12S rRNA) and cytochrome b (cyt b) genes. The nucleotide sequences of a 412-bp segment of the 12S rRNA gene and a 534-bp segme
