Slow mitochondrial DNA sequence evolution in the Anthozoa (Cnidaria).

Molecular ecology - 1 Dec 2002

Shearer T L, Van Oppen M J H, Romano S L, Wörheide G

Abstract excerpt

Mitochondrial genes have been used extensively in population genetic and phylogeographical analyses, in part due to a high rate of nucleotide substitution in animal mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). Nucleotide sequences of anthozoan mitochondrial genes, however, are virtually invariant among conspecifics, even at third codon positions of protein-coding sequences. Hence, mtDNA markers are of limited use for...
