Hierarchical analysis of variation in the mitochondrial 16S rRNA gene among Hymenoptera.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Dec 1998

Whitfield J B, Cameron S A

Abstract excerpt

Nucleotide sequences from a 434-bp region of the 16S rRNA gene were analyzed for 65 taxa of Hymenoptera (ants, bees, wasps, parasitoid wasps, sawflies) to examine the patterns of variation within the gene fragment and the taxonomic levels for which it shows maximum utility in phylogeny estimation...
