In my current study, 16S revealed high gene diversity followed by CO1 and CR, while CO11 shows low gene diversity. what is responsible for these differentiation?
I think the answer to your question will depends on your experiment. For example, 16S is good for bacteria, 18S is good for yeast,.....
You may need to add more details to your question. I hope that may help you
Hi, I agree with Ahmed, it would be easier if we had more info.
However: different genes face different mutation constraints.
So picking the most suitable one depends on your sample. If you have closely related samples, you need a fast-evolving marker, with high resolution.
If you have evolutionary distant samples - it's better to use a slow-evolving marker.
You could also try to combine a few markers and see if your results make sense.
Hello Unisa,
Here is a similar question that has several answers, many of which relate to mutation rates in mtDNA.

Hope this helps, and if not please post more specific details and I am sure someone will be able to help out.
