Mitogenomics of the Speartooth Shark challenges ten years of control region sequencing.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Mitochondrial DNA markers have long been used to identify population boundaries and are now a standard tool in conservation biology. In elasmobranchs, evolutionary rates of mitochondrial genes are low and variation between distinct populations can be hard to detect with commonly used control region sequencing or other single gene approaches. In this study we sequenced the whole mitogenome of 93...
