| Research Abstract |
To illuminate the pattern of diversification of fishes, the biggest group in the vertebrate with nearly 27,000 species, whole mitochondrial genomes of various fishes have been sequenced. Extensive and intensive molecular phylogenetic analyses of the sequence data obtained provided a number of findings affording various insights into process of diversification of fishes on the earth.
