Abstract:Nucleotide sequences from the ND3, ND4L, and ND4 genes of the mitochondrial DNA of deer mice (Peromyscus) from Triangle Island, British Columbia, were analyzed and compared with those from reference samples of the geographically proximal species Peromyscus maniculatus and Peromyscus keeni. Variation among the deer mice from Triangle Island comprised four sequences with a total sequence divergence of 0.093%. One of these sequences characterized 52% of the 27 individuals analyzed; each of the other sequence vari… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
