Mitochondrial DNA evolution in primates: transition rate has been extremely low in the lemur.

Journal of molecular evolution - 1 Aug 1990

Hasegawa M, Kishino H, Hayasaka K, Horai S

Abstract excerpt

Based on mitochondrial DNA (mt-DNA) sequence data from a wide range of primate species, branching order in the evolution of primates was inferred by the maximum likelihood method of Felsenstein without assuming rate constancy among lineages. Bootstrap probabilities for the maximum likelihood tree topology among alternatives were estimated without performing a maximum likelihood estimation for each resampled data...
