Molecular evolution of the cytochrome b gene among percid fishes

To better understand the evolution of the cytochrome b gene and its implications for evolutionary relationships among percid fishes, the entire cytochrome b gene (1,140 base pairs) was amplified via PCR using the tRNA flanking primers and sequenced. Twenty-two species were examined, including 20 species of Percidae (representing all percid genera except Percarina and Romanichthys), one species of Centrarchidae (Micropterus salmoides), and one species of Moronidae (Morone mississippiensis); the latter two species were used as outgroups for phylogenetic analyses.
