PHYLOGENETIC RELATEDNESS OF THE BAIKAL LAKE ENDEMIAL AMPHIPODES (CRUSTACEA, AMPHIPODA) DEDUCED FROM PARTIAL NUCLEOTIDE-SEQUENCES OF THE CYTOCHROME-OXIDASE SUBUNIT-III GENES
Ob. Ogarkov et al., PHYLOGENETIC RELATEDNESS OF THE BAIKAL LAKE ENDEMIAL AMPHIPODES (CRUSTACEA, AMPHIPODA) DEDUCED FROM PARTIAL NUCLEOTIDE-SEQUENCES OF THE CYTOCHROME-OXIDASE SUBUNIT-III GENES, Molecular biology, 31(1), 1997, pp. 24-29
The nucleotide sequence of 303 bp was determined for the cytochrome ox
idase subunit III [E.C. 1.9.3.1] (COIII) gene of mitochondrial DNA of
14, species of Baikalian endemial gammarids belonging to seven genera.
The data obtained were used to construct phylogenetic trees, which pr
oved to be in accord with modem systems for the group under study. App
roximate estimates of the evolutionary age of some species were obtain
