Phylogeny, Recombination, and Mechanisms of Stepwise Mitochondrial Genome Reorganization in Mantellid Frogs from Madagascar
Atsushi Kurabayashi,Masayuki Sumida,Hiromichi Yonekawa,Frank Glaw,Miguel Vences,Masami Hasegawa +5 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that recombination activity is not a direct cause of convergent gene rearrangement; rather, homoplasious gene rearranged seems to be mediated by persistence of a copied genomic condition through several lineage splits and subsequent parallel deletions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Complete mitochondrial genomes of three neobatrachian anurans : A case study of divergence time estimation using different data and calibration settings
TL;DR: The estimated divergence time based on amino acid data with multiple reference points suggests that the three living amphibian orders may have originated in the Carboniferous period, and that the divergences of anurans had occurred between the Permian and Tertiary periods.
Journal ArticleDOI
Complete mitochondrial DNA sequence of the endangered frog Odorrana ishikawae (family Ranidae) and unexpected diversity of mt gene arrangements in ranids.

TL;DR: Though the inter-generic and interspecific relationships of ranid taxa remain to be elucidated based on 12S and 16S rrn sequence data, some of the derived mt gene orders were found to have synapomorphic features useful for solving problematic ranid phylogenies.
Journal ArticleDOI
The origin of modern frogs (Neobatrachia) was accompanied by acceleration in mitochondrial and nuclear substitution rates
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the complete mitochondrial genomes and nine nuclear loci of one pelobatoid (Pelodytes punctatus) and five neobatrachians, Heleophryne regis (Heleophrynidae), Lechriodus melanopyga (Limnodynastidae), Calyptocephalella gayi (Calypto-cephalellidae), Telmatobius bolivianus (Ceratophryidae), and Sooglossus thomasseti (Soog
Journal ArticleDOI
Complete nucleotide sequence and gene organization of the mitochondrial genome of Paa spinosa (Anura: Ranoidae).
TL;DR: To further investigate the phylogenetic relationships of anurans, phylogenetic analyses based on the nucleotide dataset and the corresponding amino acid dataset of 11 protein-coding genes (except ND5 and ATP8) arrived at the similar topology.

Clustal w: improving the sensitivity of progressive multiple sequence alignment through sequence weighting, position-specific gap penalties and weight matrix choice
TL;DR: The sensitivity of the commonly used progressive multiple sequence alignment method has been greatly improved and modifications are incorporated into a new program, CLUSTAL W, which is freely available.
