Phylogenetic position of cetaceans relative to artiodactyls: reanalysis of mitochondrial and nuclear sequences.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 May 1996

Hasegawa M, Adachi J

Abstract excerpt

By a maximum likelihood analysis of mitochondrial DNA sequences, we examine Graur and Higgins' hypothesis of the Ruminantia/Cetacea clade with Suiformes as an outgroup. Graur and Higgins analyzed these sequences by the neighbor-joining and parsimony methods, as well as by the maximum likelihood m...
