Phylogenetic relationships within the genus Holothuria inferred from 16S mitochondrial rRNA gene sequences

This study aimed to resolve the taxonomic status of a morphologically undetermined sea cucumber species of order Apodida from Malaysia (GenBank accession no.: FJ223867) using partial 16S mitochondrial rRNA gene sequences and subsequently to determine the validity of morphological taxonomy of Holothu...
