Origin of tetrapods inferred from their mitochondrial DNA affiliation to lungfish.

Journal of molecular evolution - 1 Nov 1990

Meyer A, Wilson A C

Abstract excerpt

This paper shows that questions of an unexpected phylogenetic depth can be addressed by the study of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequences. For decades, it has been unclear whether coelacanth fishes or lungfishes are the closest living relatives of land vertebrates (Tetrapoda). Segments of mtDNA from a lungfish, the coelacanth, and a ray-finned fish were sequenced and compared to the published sequence of a frog...
