Hydnellum spongiosipes is readily confused with H. ferrugineum, and several authors have historically considered the two species to be the same; molecular studies, however, indicate that the two fungi are closely related, but distinct.
Without molecular studies, however, detailed analyses of which SNPs might be functional are difficult because many of the ADH variations are inherited together with nearby SNPs as haplotypes.
A number of molecular studies, however, proved that M. schreibersii was a species complex [ 7- 9] and its presently recognized distributional range is limited to Europe, northern Africa, and Asia Minor [ 10].
Molecular studies revealed, however, that the frequency of tumours with mutations at this gene is low: ∼25% of cases (Wynford-Thomas, 1997).
Molecular studies have, however, discovered four deeply divergent genetic lineages within G. zebratus, three historically isolated lineages within P. burchelli and three lineages of S. capensis in the Breede River system [ 30- 32], Chakona et al., in preparation.
Molecular modelling studies, however, showed that packing effects could explain deviations from a direct correlation.
Recent large-scale molecular mapping studies, however, have shown an even greater complexity than that previously appreciated [ 1– 3].
Recent molecular phylogenetic studies, however, have repeatedly cast doubt on such a paracanthoperygian position of the Lophiiformes within the higher teleosts [ 17- 27].
We did not perform any molecular study on our cases; however, our chromosomal results fit the interpretation that a common relationship may exist between the two groups of tumors at the level of both genes and chromosomes.
The STR species cannot be distinguished with the molecular methods used in this study, however, the species show clear divergences in their responses to ecological factors of habitat type and climate.
