Low Diversity in the Mitogenome of Sperm Whales Revealed by Next-Generation Sequencing
Large population sizes and global distributions generally associate with high mitochondrial DNA control region (CR) diversity. The sperm whale (Physeter macrocephalus) is an exception, showing low CR diversity relative to other cetaceans; however, diversity levels throughout the remainder of the spe...
