Explaining the imperfection of the molecular clock of hominid mitochondria.

PloS one - 29 Dec 2009

Loogväli Eva-Liis, Kivisild Toomas, Margus Tõnu, Villems Richard

Abstract excerpt

The molecular clock of mitochondrial DNA has been extensively used to date various genetic events. However, its substitution rate among humans appears to be higher than rates inferred from human-chimpanzee comparisons, limiting the potential of interspecies clock calibrations for intraspecific da...
