| mitochondrial dna-like sequence in the nuclear genome of an akodontine rodent. | initial amplification and sequencing of a 366-bp fragment of the cytochrome b gene by a conserved primer pair (mvz 03 and mvz 04) revealed a nonfunctional copy of the gene with two deletions (one of which is 17 bp in length and the other of which is 3 bp in length) in chroeomys jelskii, a south american akodontine rodent. by means of an alternative primer to mvz 03--namely, mvz 05--from the region of the trna for glutamic acid, a functional copy of cytochrome b was subsequently amplified. both p ... | 1992 | 1560758 |
