High impact information on CYTB

We examine mitochondrial DNA variation at the cytochrome b locus within and between three species of Drosophila to determine whether patterns of variation conform to the predictions of neutral molecular evolution [1].
To resolve this conflict, we present molecular data which provide a robust phylogeny: mitochondrial DNA (12S + 16S ribosomal DNA and cytochrome b) sequence data are in agreement with one another regardless of the algorithm used [2].
The 3' end is flanked by the tRNA(UCNser) gene, followed by a sequence homologous to the 3' end of D. yakuba cytochrome b [3].
