| duplication and concerted evolution of the mitochondrial control region in the parrot genus amazona. | we report a duplication and rearrangement of the mitochondrial genome involving the control region of parrots in the genus amazona. this rearrangement results in a gene order of cytochrome b/trna(thr)/pnd6/pglu/cr1/trna(pro)/nadh dehydrogenase 6/trna(glu)/cr2/trna(phe)/12s rrna, where cr1 and cr2 refer to duplicate control regions, and pnd6 and pglu indicate presumed pseudogenes. in contrast to previous reports of duplications involving the control regions of birds, neither copy of the parrot co ... | 2001 | 11420371 |
