| characterization and evolution of the mitochondrial dna control region in ranidae and their phylogenetic relationship. | the control region is considered to be one of the most variable parts of animal mitochondrial dna (mtdna). we compared the mtdna control region from 37 species representing 14 genera and 4 subfamilies of ranidae, to analyze the evolution of the control region and to determine their phylogenetic relationship. all the ranidae species had a single control region, except four species that had two repeat regions. the control region spanned the region between the cyt b and trnaleu genes in most of the ... | 2016 | 27706640 |
| the complete mitochondrial genome of the large-headed frog, limnonectes bannaensis (amphibia: anura), and a novel gene organization in the vertebrate mtdna. | we determined the complete nucleotide sequence of the mitochondrial (mt) genome of the large-headed frog, limnonectes bannaensis (amphibia, anura) by using polymerase chain reaction (pcr). the entire mtdna sequence is 16,867 bp in length with a novel case of trnas in vertebrates. this mt genome is characterized by three distinctive features: (1) a tandem duplication of trna(met) gene is observed, (2) the trna(ala), trna(asn), trna(cys) and trna(glu) genes coded on the l-strand are absent from th ... | 2009 | 19397958 |
