| Summary: | whale sequence is present---labeled as chondrial genome. Thier initial expectation, shared by being from the grey seal---and the "horse" sequence other studies of congruence among mitochondrial is that of the harbor seal. DNA gene sequences (Cao et al., 1994; Cummings et al., These errors clearly result from cut-and-paste errors 1995; Zardoya and Meyer, 1996), was that the different in assembling the data file and would be little more genes should support the same, or at least very similar, than amusing (if not embarrassing) were it not for the trees. Instead, they reported significant incongruence fact that the authors' conclusion---that the mitochonbetween trees from different genes. While most of the drial genes are incongruent---is entirely dependent on their having the wrong ATPASE8 sequences for three taxa. We repeated the authors' test for incongruence 1 To whom correspondence and reprint requests should be ad- among the 13 genes using the character partition test dressed |
