Evolution of the cytochrome b gene of mammals.

Journal of molecular evolution - 1 Feb 1991

Irwin D M, Kocher T D, Wilson A C

Abstract excerpt

With the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and versatile primers that amplify the whole cytochrome b gene (approximately 1140 bp), we obtained 17 complete gene sequences representing three orders of hoofed mammals (ungulates) and dolphins (cetaceans). The fossil record of some ungulate lineages allowed estimation of the evolutionary rates for various components of the cytochrome b DNA and amino acid sequences. The...
