Dramatically elevated rate of mitochondrial substitution in lice (Insecta: Phthiraptera).

Molecular phylogenetics and evolution - 1 Feb 2003

Johnson Kevin P, Cruickshank Robert H, Adams Richard J, Smith Vincent S, Page Roderic D M, Clayton Dale H

Abstract excerpt

Few estimates of relative substitution rates, and the underlying mutation rates, exist between mitochondrial and nuclear genes in insects. Previous estimates for insects indicate a 2-9 times faster substitution rate in mitochondrial genes relative to nuclear genes. Here we use novel methods for e...
