Abstract excerpt
We have analysed the precise location of a large number (170) of mutations affecting the structural gene for subunit I of the cytochrome c oxidase complex. This gene, COXI, is 12.9 kb long and the major part of the sequence (i.e. 11.3 kb) is composed of introns. Several conclusions can be drawn from this study: (1) A significant proportion (84/170) of the mutations cannot be assigned to a single position within...
