Comparative Analysis of Mitochondrial DNA by using Nucleotide Genomic Signals

摘要

The nucleotide imbalance, the nucleotide pair imbalance and the nucleotide path of mitochondrial Nucleotide Genomic Signals (mtNuGSs) for several taxa have been analyzed comparatively. Evolutionary changes of conservative segments, as well as individual mutations of hyper-variable segments have been identified. An innovative technique, based on reference-offset representation of sets of related signals has been used throughout the study.
