japanese wolves are genetically divided into two groups based on an 8-nucleotide insertion/deletion within the mtdna control region.	the mitochondrial dna (mtdna) control region (198- to 598-bp) of four ancient canis specimens (two canis mandibles, a cranium, and a first phalanx) was examined, and each specimen was genetically identified as japanese wolf. two unique nucleotide substitutions, the 78-c insertion and the 482-g deletion, both of which are specific for japanese wolf, were observed in each sample. based on the mtdna sequences analyzed, these four specimens and 10 additional japanese wolf samples could be classified ...	2016	26853868
