Contrasting mutation rates in mitochondrial and nuclear genes of yeasts versus mammals.

Current genetics - 1 Aug 1991

Clark-Walker G D

Abstract excerpt

Base substitutions have been compared in two mitochondrial and two nuclear genes from three yeasts and three mammals. In yeasts, the two mitochondrial genes, cytochrome oxidase subunit 2 (COX2) and apocytochrome b (CYB), have fewer changes on a percentage basis than the nuclear-encoded cytochrome c (CYC) gene. By contrast, in mammals, the same mitochondrial genes have more mutations than CYC on a percentage...
