Direct Estimation of the Mitochondrial DNA Mutation Rate in Drosophila melanogaster

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) variants are widely used in evolutionary genetics as markers for population history and to estimate divergence times among taxa. Inferences of species history are generally based on phylogenetic comparisons, which assume that molecular evolution is clock-like. Between-speci...
