Genetics - 1 Sept 1998

Abstract excerpt
Statistical analyses of DNA sequences have revealed patterns of nonneutral evolution in mitochondrial DNA of mice, humans, and Drosophila. Here we report patterns of mitochondrial sequence evolution in South American marsh rats (genus Holochilus). We sequenced the complete mitochondrial ND3 gene in 82 Holochilus brasiliensis and 21 H. vulpinus to test the neutral prediction that the ratio of nonsynonymous to...
