Muller's Ratchet and compensatory mutation in mitochondrial genome evolution-3

Ypes among temperate and tropical-clade isolates are shown on top. Black lines indicate lineages that encode DRSeq1 (identical to downstream sequence), blue lines show lineage with DRSeq2 and red lines show DRSeq3-encoding lineages. Boostrap support (neighbor-joining over maximum parsimony) is shown for relevant nodes. Specific DNA sequence changes in DRSeq2 and DRSeq3 are shown on bottom. (B) Variation in heteroplasmic deletion frequencies among isolates encoding different ψND5-2 sequences is shown. Error bars show S. E. M. (C) Mean fecundities of isolates encoding different ψND5-2 sequences are shown. Error bars show S. E. M.<p><b>Copyright information:</b></p><p>Taken from "Muller's Ratchet and compensatory mutation in mitochondrial genome evolution"</p><p>http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2148/8/62</p><p>BMC Evolutionary Biology 2008;8():62-62.</p><p>Published online 26 Feb 2008</p><p>PMCID:PMC2279117.</p><p>
