| phylogeny of caecilian amphibians (gymnophiona) based on complete mitochondrial genomes and nuclear rag1. | we determined the complete nucleotide sequence of the mitochondrial (mt) genome of five individual caecilians (amphibia: gymnophiona) representing five of the six recognized families: rhinatrema bivittatum (rhinatrematidae), ichthyophis glutinosus (ichthyophiidae), uraeotyphlus cf. oxyurus (uraeotyphlidae), scolecomorphus vittatus (scolecomorphidae), and gegeneophis ramaswamii (caeciliidae). the organization and size of these newly determined mitogenomes are similar to those previously reported ... | 2004 | 15336675 |
