Abstract excerpt
Phylogenetic utility of the mitochondrial COI (cytochrome oxidase subunit I) and nuclear Gpdh (glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase) genes was studied in the Drosophila melanogaster species group. The rate of substitution was higher in the COI gene than in the Gpdh gene. In addition, multiple substitutions, not only for transitional but also for transversional substitutions, occurred faster in the COI gene. None of...
