Tandem duplications in animal mitochondrial DNAs: variation in incidence and gene content among lizards.
Open accessAbstract
Size, location, gene content, and incidence were determined for 10 lizard mitochondrial DNA duplications. These range from 0.8 to 8.0 kilobases (kb) and account for essentially all of the observed size variation (17-25 kb). Cleavage-site mapping and transfer-hybridization experiments indicate that each duplication is tandem and direct, includes at least one protein or rRNA gene, and is adjacent to or includes the D loop-containing control region. Duplication boundaries are nonrandomly distributed, and most appear to align with tRNA genes, suggesting that these may play a role in the duplication process. Duplications are infrequent and usually restricted to particular individuals or populations. They appear to be ephemeral; in no case is the same duplication shared by mitochondrial DNAs from closely related species. Mitochondrial DNA duplications occur significantly more often in triploid than diploid lizards and at similar frequencies in hybrids and nonhybrids.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
