Relative rates of nucleotide substitution in frogs.

Abstract excerpt

Accurate estimation of relative mutation rates of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and single-copy nuclear DNA (scnDNA) within lineages contributes to a general understanding of molecular evolutionary processes and facilitates making demographic inferences from population genetic data. The rate of divergence at synonymous sites ( K(s)) may be used as a surrogate for mutation rate. Such data are available for few...
