Genetic diversity in the Chinese pangolin (Manis pentadactyla): inferred from restriction enzyme analysis of mitochondrial DNAs.

Abstract excerpt

Two different forms of Chinese pangolins can be recognized according to the color of their scales, i.e., brown and dusky. We analyzed mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) purified from the livers of seven dusky and six brown Chinese pangolins from the same locality, using cleavage patterns from 19 restriction enzymes. From the 19 6-bp recognition enzymes used, 51-56 sites were observed. By combining the cleavage patterns...
