Comparative study of two protein-coding regions of mitochondrial DNA from three endemic sculpins (Cottoidei) of Lake Baikal.

abstract：:We studied the genomic organization of Hox genes in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) and made comparisons to that in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), another member of the family Salmonidae. We used these two species to test the hypothesis that the Hox genes would provide evidence for a fourth round of duplication (4...
