Size polymorphism and heteroplasmy in the mitochondrial DNA of lower vertebrates.

The Journal of heredity - 1 Jan 2000

Bermingham E, Lamb T, Avise J C

Abstract excerpt

The mitochondrial DNA of the bowfin fish and each of two species of treefrogs displays large-scale size variation. Within each species, mitochondrial genomes span more than a 700 base pair range, and the size polymorphism is localized to one portion of the genome. In addition, about 5 percent of the total 357 individuals surveyed were observed to carry two size classes of mtDNA. These findings are among the few...
