Do avian mitochondria recombine?

Journal of molecular evolution - 1 Feb 2004

Berlin Sofia, Smith Nick G C, Ellegren Hans

Abstract excerpt

The dogma of strict maternal inheritance of mitochondria is now being tested with population genetics methods on sequence data from many species. In this study we investigated whether recombination occurs in the mitochondria of the blue tit ( Parus caeruleus) by studying polymorphisms in the mitochondrial control region and in a recently identified (A)(n) microsatellite on the W chromosome. The female...
