Variations in mitochondrial tRNA gene organization of reptiles as phylogenetic markers.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Sept 1995

Kumazawa Y, Nishida M

Abstract excerpt

Amplification and sequencing of mitochondrial DNA regions corresponding to three major clusters of transfer RNA genes from a variety of species representing major groups of birds and reptiles revealed some new variations in tRNA gene organization. First, a gene rearrangement from tRNA(His)-tRNA(Ser)(AGY)-tRNA(Leu)(CUN) to tRNA(Ser)(AGY)-tRNA(His)tRNA(Leu)(CUN) occurs in all three crocodilians examined (alligator,...
