| Abstract: | Background Mustelidae, as the largest and most-diverse family of order Carnivora, comprises eight subfamilies. Phylogenetic relationships
among these Mustelidae subfamilies remain argumentative subjects in recent years. One of the main reasons is that the mustelids
represent a typical example of rapid evolutionary radiation and recent speciation event. Prior investigation has been concentrated
on the application of different mitochondrial (mt) sequence and nuclear protein-coding data, herein we employ 17 nuclear non-coding
loci (>15 kb), in conjunction with mt complete genome data (>16 kb), to clarify these enigmatic problems. |
