Table 2.
Accuracy of Carcharhinus falciformis mitochondrial sequences based on comparison with Genbank reference sequences (Table S4).
| Genetic Loci | Accuracy | Differences/Total base pairs |
|---|---|---|
| Cytochrome oxidase 1 (COI) | 99.33–100% | 0–2/600–654 |
| NADH2 | 98.5% | 16/1044 |
| 12s rRNA | 98.5% | 6–7/1357–1411 |
| 16s rRNA | 98.5% | 6–7/1357–1411 |
| Mitochondria | 98.75% | 207/16,629–17,639* |
