Mode and tempo of molecular evolution in the nematode caenorhabditis: cytochrome oxidase II and calmodulin sequences.

Genetics - 1 Jun 1991

Thomas W K, Wilson A C

Abstract excerpt

Through direct sequencing methods, the mitochondrial gene for cytochrome oxidase subunit two (CO II) and the single-copy nuclear gene for calmodulin were compared among strains of Caenorhabidits elegans and two other Caenorhabditis species (C. remanei and C. briggsae). In addition the CO II seque...
