| complete mitochondrial genome of the greek marsh frog pelophylax cretensis (anura, ranidae). | we sequenced the complete mitochondrial genome of the greek marsh frog pelophylax cretensis, a water frog species endemic to the island of crete. the genome sequence was 17,829 bp in size, and the gene order and contents were identical to those of previously reported mitochondrial genomes of other water frog species. this is the first complete mitogenome (i.e. including control region) described for western palaearctic water frogs. | 2016 | 25329260 |
| rrs1-like sequences of water frogs from central europe and around the aegean sea: chromosomal organization, evolution, possible function. | rrs1-like sequences of water frogs (genus pelophylax) display varied genomic organization, whereas the centromeric hybridization pattern reveals species-specific differences. using fluorescent in situ hybridization, pelophylax cf. bedriagae, pelophylax kurtmuelleri, and pelophylax ridibundus showed a hybridization signal at centromeres of chromosomes 1-5, but in p. kurtmuelleri the medium-small chromosome labeled was 10 rather than 8. pelophylax cretensis had almost 16 of 26 centromeres labeled, ... | 2011 | 21424546 |
