Phylogenetic position of turtles among amniotes: evidence from mitochondrial and nuclear genes

Maximum likelihood analysis, accounting for site-heterogeneity in evolutionary rate with the Γ-distribution model, was carried out with amino acid sequences of 12 mitochondrial proteins and nucleotide sequences of mitochondrial 12S and 16S rRNAs from three turtles, one squamate, one crocodile, and e...
