Asymmetrical directional mutation pressure in the mitochondrial genome of mammals.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Aug 1998

Reyes A, Gissi C, Pesole G, Saccone C

Abstract excerpt

The base composition of 25 complete mammalian mitochondrial (mt) genomes has been analyzed taking into account all three codon positions (P1230 and fourfold degenerate sites (P4FD) of H-strand genes. In the nontranscribed L strand, G is the less represented base and A is the most represented one in all cases, while C and T differ among species. H-strand protein-coding genes show an asymmetric distribution of the...
