Selection of mtDNA Marker Genes In The Study Of Bird Genetic Diversity: A Review

Shovinda Rahmadina, Djong Hon Tjong

Abstract


Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) has emerged as a crucial tool in understanding bird genetic diversity due to its unique characteristics, including maternal inheritance and high mutation rates. This review synthesizes the current understanding of various mtDNA marker genes, focusing on their applications in avian genetic research. The selection of mtDNA marker genes such as cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI), NADH dehydrogenase subunit 2 (ND2), cytochrome b (cyt b), and the D-loop region is evaluated for their advantages and limitations. The review highlights the significance of mtDNA markers in conservation genetics and phylogenetics, emphasizing their utility in resolving evolutionary relationships and assessing population structure.
