Abstract excerpt
A 1230-bp region of the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene of mitochondrial DNA of each of 16 brachiopod species, representing all five living orders, was amplified by polymerase chain reaction and sequenced. Pairwise comparisons of sequence differences plotted against divergence times estimated from the brachiopod fossil record revealed that, although there are considerable variations in the expected...
