COMPARISON OF THE COMPLETE NUCLEOTIDE SEQUENCES OF MITOCHONDRIAL DNA FROM WISTAR AND OXYS RAT STRAINS MAINTAINED AT THE INSTITUTE OF CYTOLOGY AND GENETICS SB RAS by R. A. Maksyutov, E. V. Gavrilova, T. S. Nepomniashchikh, U. N. Rotskaya, P. S. Loshchenova, N. G. Kolosova, O. I. Sinitsyna, S. N. Shchelkunov

“…It was shown that two additional unique nucleotide substitutions between rats OXYS (ICG) and Wistar (ICG) were absent from other known nucleotide sequences of rat mitochondrial DNA of rats and that they did not cause amino acid substitutions, so that all phenotypic differences between the lines were determined only by differences in their nuclear DNA. …”
