Changes in mitochondrial genetic codes as phylogenetic characters: two examples from the flatworms.
Shared molecular genetic characteristics other than DNA and protein sequences can provide excellent sources of phylogenetic information, particularly if they are complex and rare and are consequently unlikely to have arisen by chance convergence. We have used two such characters, arising from changes in mitochondrial genetic code, to define a clade within the Platyhelminthes (flatworms), the Rh...
متن کاملMitochondrial DNA sequence-based phylogenetic relationship of Trichiurus lepturus (Perciformes: Trichiuridae) from the Persian Gulf
In this study, mitochondrial DNA analysis using 16S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) was performed to investigate the phylogeny relationship of Trichiurus lepturus in the Persian Gulf compared to the other investigated area. The amplification of 16S rDNA resulted in a product of 600 bp in all samples. The results showed that the isolated strain belongs to T. lepturus showing 42 divergence sites among the s...
متن کاملDecoding bar codes from human-readable characters
In this study we have decoded bar codes by recognizing the human readable characters of the interpretation line printed below the bar pattern Using this approach we were able to successfully decode bar codes with a resolution of pixels per module
متن کاملGaps as characters in sequence-based phylogenetic analyses.
In the analysis of sequence-based data matrices, the use of different methods of treating gaps has been demonstrated to influence the resulting phylogenetic hypotheses (e.g., Eernisse and Kluge, 1993; Vogler and DeSalle, 1994; Simons and May den, 1997). Despite this influence, a well-justified, uniformly applied method of treating gaps is lacking in sequence-based phylogenetic studies. Treatmen...
متن کاملCharacters as groups: a new approach to morphological characters in phylogenetic analysis
Morphological characters remain an essential tool for phylogenetic studies, even in the current age of molecular systematics (Scotland & al., 2003; Jenner, 2004; Wiens 2004; Smith & Turner, 2005; Lee, 2006). Consequently, the reliability and validity of the methods used to identify characters and define character states is highly relevant to systematics research. Although identifying appropriat...
