Figure 1From: The complete mitochondrial genomes of sixteen ardeid birds revealing the evolutionary process of the gene rearrangementsMitochondrial gene orders in ardeid birds. Only the region between the Cytb and 12S rRNA is shown. A: duplicate tRNAThr–CR gene order; B: duplicate CR gene order; C: duplicate tRNAGlu–CR gene order; D: duplicate tRNAThr–tRNAPro and CR gene order. The gene order names follow the description by Gibb et al. [8]. pCytb: partial Cytb. ψ: pseudo gene.Back to article page
