Evolution of Drosophila mitochondrial DNA and the history of the melanogaster subgroup.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 1 Dec 1990

Satta Y, Takahata N

Abstract excerpt

The nucleotide sequences of a common region of 15 mitochondrial DNAs (mtDNAs) sampled from the Drosophila melanogaster subgroup were determined. The region is 2527 base pairs long, including most of the NADH dehydrogenase subunit 2 and cytochrome oxidase subunit 1 genes punctuated by three tRNA genes. The comparative study revealed (i) the extremely low saturation level of transitional differences, (ii)...
