TLDR
Observations suggest that the mechanisms of replication, transcription, processing, and translation in mitochondria are highly conserved throughout higher vertebrates.About:

Journal Article
DNA primers for amplification of mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I from diverse metazoan invertebrates.
TL;DR: "universal"
Journal ArticleDOI
Animal mitochondrial genomes
TL;DR: The comparison of animal mitochondrial gene arrangements has become a very powerful means for inferring ancient evolutionary relationships, since rearrangements appear to be unique, generally rare events that are unlikely to arise independently in separate evolutionary lineages.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ribosomal DNA: molecular evolution and phylogenetic inference.
David M. Hillis,Michael T. Dixon +1 more
TL;DR: An analysis of aligned sequences of the four nuclear and two mitochondrial rRNA genes identified regions of these genes that are likely to be useful to address phylogenetic problems over a wide range of levels of divergence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evolution of animal mitochondrial dna: relevance for population biology and systematics
TL;DR: This work focuses on molecular aspects of animal mtDNA that are especially relevant to its use in evolutionary studies, and considers the form and frequency of three types of change in mtDNA: base substitution, length variation, and sequence rearrangement.
Book ChapterDOI
Animal mitochondrial DNA: structure and evolution.
TL;DR: The extent of size reduction within metazoan mitochondrial-transfer RNA (mt-tRNA) gene sets strongly correlates with the degree to which the more variable secondary structure element-forming regions of mt-rRNA genes are lost.

DNA sequencing with chain-terminating inhibitors
TL;DR: A new method for determining nucleotide sequences in DNA is described, which makes use of the 2',3'-dideoxy and arabinon nucleoside analogues of the normal deoxynucleoside triphosphates, which act as specific chain-terminating inhibitors of DNA polymerase.

Sequence and organization of the human mitochondrial genome

TL;DR: The complete sequence of the 16,569-base pair human mitochondrial genome is presented and shows extreme economy in that the genes have none or only a few noncoding bases between them, and in many cases the termination codons are not coded in the DNA but are created post-transcriptionally by polyadenylation of the mRNAs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cloning in single-stranded bacteriophage as an aid to rapid DNA sequencing
TL;DR: An approach to DNA sequencing using chain-terminating inhibitors (Sanger et al., 1977) combined with cloning of small fragments of DNA in a single-stranded DNA bacteriophage is described, determining the 2771-nucleotide sequence of the largest MboI restriction enzyme fragment from human mitochondrial DNA.

A new pair of M13 vectors for selecting either DNA strand of double-digest restriction fragments.
Joachim Messing,Jeffrey Vieira +1 more
TL;DR: Two new M13 vectors, M13MP8 and M13mp9, have been constructed that permit the cloning of the same restriction fragment in both possible orientations, allowing the use of only one of the two DNA strands as a template for M13 shotgun sequencing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Codon--anticodon pairing: the wobble hypothesis.
TL;DR: In this paper, it is suggested that while the standard base pairs may be used rather strictly in the first two positions of the triplet, there may be some wobble in the pairing of the third base.
