Abstract excerpt
Investigations of intraindividual sequence diversity in mtDNA are a key step in exploring the linkage between somatic mutations in mtDNA and mitochondrial genome evolution. This paper reports a directional cloning procedure enabling the isolation of multiple copies of the D-loop region of the mitochondrial genome from the fish Ameiurus nebulosus. Sequence analysis of 708 D-loop molecules revealed eight mutants,...
