Reliability of mitochondrial DNA in an acanthocephalan: the problem of pseudogenes.

International journal for parasitology - 1 Feb 2006

Benesh Daniel P, Hasu Tiina, Suomalainen Lotta-Riina, Valtonen E Tellervo, Tiirola Marja

Abstract excerpt

The utility of mitochondrial DNA as a molecular marker for evolutionary studies is well recognized. However, several problems can arise when using mitochondrial DNA, one of which is the presence of nuclear mitochondrial pseudogenes, or Numts. Pseudogenes of cytochrome oxidase I were preferentiall...
