This paper reports an intraorder study on the D-loop-containing region of the mitochondrial DNA in rodents. A complete multialignment of this region is not feasible with the exception of some conserved regions. The comparative analysis of 25 complete rodent sequences from 23 species plus one lagomorph has revealed that only the central domain (CD), a conserved region of about 80 bp in the extended termination-associated sequences (ETAS) domain, adjacent to the CD, the ETAS1, and conserved sequence block (CSB) 1 blocks are present in all rodent species, whereas the presence of CSB2 and CSB3 is erratic within the order. We have also found a conserved region of 90 bp located between tRNAPro and ETAS1 present in fat dormouse, squirrel, guinea pig, and rabbit. Repeated sequences are present in both the ETAS and the CSB domain, but the repeats differ in length, copy number, and base composition in different species. The potential use of the D-loop for evolutionary studies has been investigated; the presence/absence of conserved blocks and/or repeated sequences cannot be used as a reliable phylogenetic marker, since in some cases they may be shared by distantly related organisms but not by close ones, while in other ones a relationship between tree topology and presence/absence of such motifs is observed. Better results can be obtained by the use of the CD, which, however, due to its reduced size, when used for tracing a phylogenetic tree, shows some nodes with low statistical support.

D012091 Repetitive Sequences, Nucleic Acid Sequences of DNA or RNA that occur in multiple copies. There are several types: INTERSPERSED REPETITIVE SEQUENCES are copies of transposable elements (DNA TRANSPOSABLE ELEMENTS or RETROELEMENTS) dispersed throughout the genome. TERMINAL REPEAT SEQUENCES flank both ends of another sequence, for example, the long terminal repeats (LTRs) on RETROVIRUSES. Variations may be direct repeats, those occurring in the same direction, or inverted repeats, those opposite to each other in direction. TANDEM REPEAT SEQUENCES are copies which lie adjacent to each other, direct or inverted (INVERTED REPEAT SEQUENCES).

D016415 Sequence Alignment The arrangement of two or more amino acid or base sequences from an organism or organisms in such a way as to align areas of the sequences sharing common properties. The degree of relatedness or homology between the sequences is predicted computationally or statistically based on weights assigned to the elements aligned between the sequences. This in turn can serve as a potential indicator of the genetic relatedness between the organisms.
