Determination of mitochondrial genetic diversity in mammals.

Genetics - 1 Jan 2008

Nabholz Benoit, Mauffrey Jean-François, Bazin Eric, Galtier Nicolas, Glemin Sylvain

Abstract excerpt

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is one of the most popular population genetic markers. Its relevance as an indicator of population size and history has recently been questioned by several large-scale studies in animals reporting evidence for recurrent adaptive evolution, at least in invertebrates. Here we focus on mammals, a more restricted taxonomic group for which the issue of mtDNA near neutrality is crucial. By...
