18S ribosomal RNA and tetrapod phylogeny.

Systematic biology - 1 Jun 2003

Xia Xuhua, Xie Zheng, Kjer Karl M

Abstract excerpt

Previous phylogenetic analyses of tetrapod 18S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) sequences support the grouping of birds with mammals, whereas other molecular data, and morphological and paleontological data favor the grouping of birds with crocodiles. The 18S rRNA gene has consequently been considered odd, serving as "definitive evidence of different genes providing significantly different estimates of phylogeny in higher...
