Journal of molecular evolution - 1 Jan 1997
Johnson W E, O'Brien S J
Abstract excerpt
The Felidae family represents a challenge for molecular phylogenetic reconstruction because it consists of 38 living species that evolved from a relatively recent common ancestor (10-15 million years ago). We have determined mitochondrial DNA sequences from two genes that evolve at relatively rap...
