A salmon id phylogeny inferred from mitochondrial cytochrome b gene sequences

Abstract: Partial mitochondrial cytochrome b gene sequences of eight salmonid species were used in a PAUP analysis to generate a phylogeny of the group. The four genera represented are Sulmo, Sulvelinus, Oncorhynchus and Thymallus. The inferred phylogenetic tree coincides well with the classically derived one for these genera. The recent reclassification of the rainbow trout as a member of the genus Oncorhynchus is supported. The assignment of grayling as the outgroup is vindicated. The utility of gene sequence data to … Show more

“…The availability of mtDNA data has provided new perspectives on taxonomically debatable taxa and confusing questions of phylogeny (Groves and Shields, 1996). Among many mitochondrial genes, the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene has been widely used to study genetic variation (McVeigh and Davidson, 1991), phylogenetic relationships (Cavender and Coburn, 1992;Groves and Shields, 1996;Gilles et al, 1998;Perdices et al, 2004;Xiao et al, 2001), biogeographical patterns (Durand et al, 2002;Gilles et al, 2001;Xiao et al, 2001;Zardoya and Doadrio, 1999), and taxonomy (Burridge, 1999;Xiao et al, 2001) in many fishes and vertebrates. The rate of evolution of the cytochrome b gene (documented in Irwin et al, 1991) is appropriate for investigating events that have occurred within the last 20 million years, such as the evolution of the Cyprinidae.…”

“…During the last 10 years, data on DNA came into wide use for reconstructing phylogenetic relationships in various groups, including the Salmonidae (Berg & Ferris, 1984;Gyllensten & Wilson, 1987;Grewe et al, 1990;Phillips & Pleyte, 1991;McVeigh & Davidson, 1991;Phillips et al, 1992;Kido et al, 1994;Shed'ko et al, 1996;Hamada et al, 1997;Oleynik, 1997). In this connection, the question of the use of allozyme data for phylogenetic reconstruction in the Salmoninae was withdrawn from the agenda.…”

“…In this study, we sequenced the entire NADH dehydrogenase subunit 3 (ND3) gene and about one third of the cytochrome b gene from 11 species of lampreys of the genus Lampetra and compared the data with published cytochrome b sequences from two additional Lampetra species (Tagliavini et al 1994). Cytochrome b sequence has been used to resolve phylogenetic relationships in a variety of fish taxa (e.g., Cantatore et al 1994), and the ND3 gene, which appears to evolve somewhat faster than cytochrome b (Thomas and Beckenbach 1989;McVeigh and Davidson 1991), may be useful in distinguishing among some of the more closely related paired and satellite species.…”
