Morphology, fossils, divergence timing, and the phylogenetic relationships of Gavialis.
Although morphological data have historically favored a basal position for the Indian gharial (Gavialis gangeticus) within Crocodylia and a Mesozoic divergence between Gavialis and all other crocodylians, several recent molecular data sets have argued for a sister-group relationship between Gavialis and the Indonesian false gharial (Tomistoma schlegelii) and a divergence between them no earlier...
متن کاملEvolution of retroviruses: fossils in our DNA.
NIQUE AMONG INFECTIOUS AGENTS, retroviruses provide the opportunity for studying their own evolution, evolution of the host-virus relationship, and evolution of the host. This utility stems from the property that retroviruses must, as a normal and essential part of every cycle of replication, cause their genetic information, in the form of a DNA molecule called the provirus, to be joined with, ...
متن کاملMitochondrial DNA: Molecular fossils in the nucleus
The nuclear genomes of many animals contain non-functional copies of mitochondrial genes that provide new opportunities for evolutionary analysis.
متن کاملPhylogenetic Analysis and DNA-based Species Confirmation in Anopheles (Nyssorhynchus)
Specimens of neotropical Anopheles (Nyssorhynchus) were collected and identified morphologically. We amplified three genes for phylogenetic analysis-the single copy nuclear white and CAD genes, and the COI barcode region. Since we had multiple specimens for most species we were able to test how well the single or combined genes were able to corroborate morphologically defined species by placing...
متن کاملTiggers and other DNA transposon fossils in the human genome
We report several classes of human interspersed repeats that resemble fossils of DNA transposons, elements that move by excision and reintegration in the genome, whereas previously characterized mammalian repeats all appear to have accumulated by retrotransposition, which involves an RNA intermediate. The human genome contains at least 14 families and > 100,000 degenerate copies of short (180-1...
