Abstract excerpt
In an effort to develop species-specific identification markers, we examined genetic variants and molecular signatures within genes encoding mitochondrial cytochrome b and 16S rRNA in eight endangered Pecoran species endemic to the Indian peninsula. Our results revealed that the cytochrome b gene exhibited higher sequence diversity than the 16S rRNA gene, both between and within species. However, the 16S rRNA...
