Drivers for mutation in amino acid sequences of two mitochondrial proteins (Cytb and COI) in Phytoseiidae mites (Acari: Mesostigmata).

Abstract excerpt

Mutations in amino acid sequences can affect protein function. Such aspects have been poorly studied for arthropods. As recent studies have shown mutations in cytochrome b (Cytb) associated with geographic locations in several Phytoseiidae species, the present study aims at investigating (i) the mutation pattern in additional species for the Cytb fragment, (ii) the mutation pattern for another mitochondrial amino...
