Contrasting rates of mitochondrial molecular evolution in parasitic Diptera and Hymenoptera.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Jul 2002

Castro L R, Austin A D, Dowton M

Abstract excerpt

We investigated the putative association between the parasitic lifestyle and an accelerated rate of mt genetic divergence, compositional bias, and gene rearrangement, employing a range of parasitic and nonparasitic Diptera and Hymenoptera. Sequences were obtained for the cox1, cox2, 16S, 28S genes, the regions between the cox2 and atp8 genes, and between the nad3 and nad5 genes. Relative rate tests indicated...
