Abstract excerpt
We investigated phylogenetic relationships among five species of Japanese brown frogs by the analysis of nucleotide sequences in the cytochrome b gene of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). The sequence of the 251-base pairs, which cover approximately 22% of the cytochrome b gene, was determined by PCR-Direct sequencing method. Phylogenetic relationships were analyzed by UPGMA, neighbor-joining, maximum-likelihood, and...
