Dear colleagues,
allow me to point you to our recent publication:
Title: Evolutionary insights into scleractinian corals using comparative genomic hybridizations
Authors: Aranda Manuel, DeSalvo K Michael, Bayer Till, Medina Monica, Voolstra R Christian,
Journal: BMC Genomics
http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2164/13/501
Here, we found indications for a potentially important role of the coral mitochondrion/mitochondrial-encoded genes in the evolution of the robust coral clade by analyzing differences in divergence of mitochondrial and nuclear encoded genes. Accordingly, this needs to be taken into account when using mitochondrial markers for scleractinian phylogenies.
Thank you,
Chris
