“…The mutation had a single origin in allele O v7.2 and recombination took it into the other alleles. The same motif has been found repeated three to five times in chimpanzee 26 and three times in gorilla (F. Roubinet, unpublished data).…”

Allele O phylogenetic analysis suggests that the most frequent silencing mutation (deletion of a G in exon 6) appeared once in human evolution in the ancient O02 allele lineage and that allele O01 resulted from an interallele exchange between O02 and A101. Assuming constancy of evolutionary rate, diversification of the representative alleles of the three human ABO lineages (A101, B101, and O02) was estimated at 4.5 to 6 million years ago.

“…Although a limited number of individuals were used in the present study, this finding is consistent with that of previous studies for mtDNA (e.g., Gagneux et al 1999;Goldberg and Ruvolo 1997;Wise et al 1997). This tendency toward higher nucleotide diversity in apes than human was also observed for nuclear DNA ( Kaessmann et al 1999;Kitano et al 2000;Sumiyama et al 2000). This is indirect support for the recent expansion model on modern humans.…”

We determined nucleotide sequences of the 16S rRNA gene of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) (about 1.6 kb) for 35 chimpanzee, 13 bonobo, 10 gorilla, 16 orangutan, and 23 gibbon individuals. We compared those data with published sequences and estimated nucleotide diversity for each species. All the ape species showed higher diversity than human. We also constructed phylogenetic trees and networks. The two orangutan subspecies were clearly separated from each other, and Sumatran orangutans showed much higher nucleotide diversity than Bornean orangutans. Some gibbon species did not form monophyletic clusters, and variation within species was not much different from that among species in the subgenus Hylobates.

“…We also aligned two Japanese macaque sequences spanning exon 6 to exon 7 with chimpanzee and bonobo sequences spanning intron 6 and partial exon 7 (Kitano et al, 2000) as well as human (Olsson and Chester, 1998), and constructed a phylogenetic tree (Fig. 5).…”
