Evidence for recombination in scorpion mitochondrial DNA (Scorpiones: Buthidae).
There has been very little undisputed evidence for recombination in animal mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) provided so far. Previous unpublished results suggestive of mtDNA recombination in the scorpion family Buthidae, together with cytological evidence for a unique mechanism of mitochondrial fusion in that family, prompted us to investigate this group in more details. First, we sequenced the comple...
متن کاملUpdated catalogue and taxonomic notes on the Old-World scorpion genus Buthus Leach, 1815 (Scorpiones, Buthidae)
Since the publication of the ground-breaking "Catalogue of the scorpions of the world (1758-1998)" (Fet et al. 2000) the number of species in the scorpion genus Buthus Leach, 1815 has increased 10-fold, and this genus is now the fourth largest within the Buthidae, with 52 valid named species. Here we revise and update the available information regarding Buthus. A new combination is proposed: Bu...
متن کاملDetermination of the Median Lethal Dose and Electrophoretic Pattern of Hottentotta saulcyi (Scorpiones, Buthidae) Scorpion Venom
BACKGROUND In this study, we investigated the lethal potency, electrophoretic protein pattern and in vivo effects of Hottentotta saulcyi scorpion venom in mice. METHODS Scorpions were collected at night, by using a UV lamp from Mardin Province, Turkey. Venom was obtained from mature H. saulcyi scorpions by electrical stimulation of the telson. The lethality of the venom was determined by i.v....
متن کاملQuestioning evidence for recombination in human mitochondrial DNA.
Recombination in Human Mitochondrial DNA The possibility of recombination in human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), raised recently by Awadalla et al. (1), holds crucial implications for many evolutionary studies (2). Here, we reexamine the data analyzed in (1), show that some of those data are likely unreliable, and suggest that the short-distance correlations found by Awadalla et al. (1) can be mor...
متن کاملEvidence for recombination of mitochondrial DNA in triploid crucian carp.
In this study, we report the complete mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequences of the allotetraploid and triploid crucian carp and compare the complete mtDNA sequences between the triploid crucian carp and its female parent Japanese crucian carp and between the triploid crucian carp and its male parent allotetraploid. Our results indicate that the complete mtDNA nucleotide identity (98%) between the...
