TL;DR: The results and a site-by-site examination of the sequences clearly suggest that convergent or parallel evolution has occurred in ND1 between primates and rodents and/or between ferungulates and the outgroup.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogenetic Relationships of Brown Frogs from Taiwan and Japan Assessed by Mitochondrial Cytochrome b Gene Sequences (Rana: Ranidae)
TL;DR: These Taiwanese and Japanese brown frogs as a whole form a monophyletic group, and separation of the R. sauteri complex as a distinct genus or subgenus Pseudorana was not supported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogenetic Relationships of Brown Frogs with 24 Chromosomes from Far East Russia and Hokkaido Assessed by Mitochondrial Cytochrome b Gene Sequences (Rana: Ranidae)
TL;DR: Comparisons of nucleotide sequences of mitochondrial cytochrome b gene revealed that the brown frog from Sakhalin has genetically little differentiated from Rana pirica from Hokkaido, and R. dybowskii from the Maritime territory is genetically well differentiated from a conspecific population from Tsushima.
Journal ArticleDOI
Local Population Differentiation and Phylogenetic Relationships of Russian Brown Frog, Rana amurensis Inferred by Mitochondrial Cytochrome b Gene Sequences (Amphibia, Ranidae)
Journal ArticleDOI
Origin and divergence of tandem repeats of primate D4 dopamine receptor genes
TL;DR: The nucleotide sequence of this region of the D4DR gene is determined in several species of prosimians and the tree shrew, suggesting that the ancestral primate presumably had one 48-bp unit, and duplication of the unit occurred at the stage of Prosimians.
