Abstract excerpt
The complete sequence (1047 bp) of the mitochondrially encoded ND2 gene was obtained from 31 species of cichlid fishes to investigate the evolutionary history of the species flocks of the East African lakes. The observed pattern of nucleotide substitution in this sequence is typical of mitochondrial genes, showing a high transition bias and rapid mutational saturation, especially at codon positions where base...
