Abstract excerpt
A total of nearly 800 base pairs of mitochondrial DNA sequence was assayed in each of 52 musk turtles (Sternotherus minor) collected across the species' range in the south-eastern USA. About one-half of the sequence information in effect was accessed by conventional recognition-site assays of the entire mtDNA molecule; the remainder came from direct sequence assays of a normally hypervariable 5' section of the...
