Nonneutral mitochondrial DNA variation in humans and chimpanzees.

Genetics - 1 Mar 1996

Nachman M W, Brown W M, Stoneking M, Aquadro C F

Abstract excerpt

We sequenced the NADH dehydrogenase subunit 3 (ND3) gene from a sample of 61 humans, five common chimpanzees, and one gorilla to test whether patterns of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) variation are consistent with a neutral model of molecular evolution. Within humans and within chimpanzees, the ratio of replacement to silent nucleotide substitutions was higher than observed in comparisons between species, contrary to...
