Journal ArticleDOI

Rapid evolution of animal mitochondrial DNA.

TL;DR: The rate of evolution of the mitochondrial genome appears to exceed that of the single-copy fraction of the nuclear genome by a factor of about 10 and is likely to be an extremely useful molecule to employ for high-resolution analysis of the evolutionary process.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mitochondrial DNA and two perspectives on evolutionary genetics

TL;DR: In this article, a comparative study of mtDNA and nuclear DNA variability is presented, with emphasis on mtDNA's uniparental and apparently haploid mode of inheritance, which makes mtDNA a superb tool for building trees and time scales relating molecular lineages at and below the species level.
