Mitochondrial diversity evaluated by the single strand conformation polymorphism method in African and North American house flies (Musca domestica L.).

Abstract excerpt

Single strand conformation polymorphisms (SSCPs) provide a convenient and inexpensive method of surveying mitochondrial genetic variation in large samples. We investigated how much variation should be incorporated into such surveys by scoring SSCP variation at eight mitochondrial loci in each of four sub-Saharan African and four North American house fly (Diptera: Muscidae.) populations. Hierarchical analysis of...
