Here, we propose a model of progressive gene loss in the evolution of discobid mt genomes based on the mt genome data from the four discobid lineages/species and the Discoba tree inferred from the 157-protein data set (fig. 4 B).
In addition, we sequenced a fragment of approximately 8,500 base pairs of the mt genome of a representative of Calyptraeoidea (Littorinimorpha), another potentially closely related taxon of Neogastropoda [ 21].
ML phylogenies were reconstructed at the nucleotide level based on each of the mt protein-coding (including all codon positions), each the two rRNA genes, and a combined data set including all mt tRNA genes.
This sunset in particular was shot at the base of Mt. Whitney — the tallest peak in the contiguous 48 states — a sure-fire breathtaking view.
So the rover was directed to drive about 4 miles away to the base of Mt. Sharp, the 3-mile-high mound in the middle of Gale Crater whose layers of sediments serve as individual chapters in the geological history of Mars.
Apart from the clatter and bells of the tramway running from the coast to the base of Mt. Hakodate, the place is silent and stagnant.
The intact granitic gneiss forming the base of Mt. Mudeung and the amphibole-biotite granodiorite of the upper strata of the metamorphic Pyeongan system in the Paleozoic sedimentary rocks are observed at the western foot of Mt. Mudeung and in the southern Hwasun region as small-scale intrusions.
The next day, the head of interrogation came to the cell and informed Hamada that he was being sent to Hospital 601, a military hospital that sits at the base of Mt. Mezzeh; the Presidential palace is perched at the top.
Equipped with an 18-acre lake and situated at the base of Mt. Sopris, the 12,000-square-foot main house has four bedrooms and four baths.
The word will now come to mind more or less in echo of any struggle against natural forces — heroic or venal, rash or well advised — when human beings conscript themselves to fight against the earth, to take what is not given, to rout the destroying enemy, to surround the base of Mt. Olympus demanding and expecting the surrender of the gods.
