Patterns of variation of mutation rates of mitochondrial and nuclear genes of gastropods

Patterns of variation of mutation rates of mitochondrial and nuclear genes of gastropods

Abstract Background Although mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) of many animals tends to mutate at higher rates than nuclear DNA (nuDNA), a recent survey of mutation rates of various animal groups found that the gastropod family Bradybaenidae (suborder Helicina) shows a nearly 40-fold difference in mutation...
