Evolution of the WANCY region in amniote mitochondrial DNA.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 May 1994

Seutin G, Lang B F, Mindell D P, Morais R

Abstract excerpt

In most vertebrate mitochondrial genomes, the site for initiation of light-strand replication, OL, is found within a cluster of five transfer RNA (tRNA) genes (tRNA(Trp), tRNA(Ala), tRNA(Asn), tRNA(Cys), and tRNA(Tyr)). This region and part of the adjacent cytochrome c oxydase subunit I (COI) gene were sequenced for two crocodilian, two turtle, and one snake species and for Sphenodon punctatus; part of the...
