Cytochrome Oxidase sequences
Description
cytOxidase
is a set of homologous protein sequences from the GENE
cytochrome oxidase SUBUNIT 1 gene. This mitochondrial gene, often known as
CO1 (“see-oh-one”), plays a key role in cellular respiration. C01 contains
approximately 513 aminoacids and has been used by previous studies for
reconstructing phylogenetic trees and estimating divergence times in
Metazoaria by assuming a molecular clock. Its 5' partition is used for the
‘Barcoding of Life’ initiative, for instance. This dataset is part of the
