title: Evolutionary change in invertebrate cytochrome C.
abstract: Recently published amino acid sequences are compared to those of other cytochromes c. Molecular phylogenies constructed by using an ancestral sequence method are compared to the classical biological view of invertebrate evolution. Problems associated with the analysis of sequences of different chain lengths and of high variability are discussed, and the logistics of increasing the representation of key invertebrate phyla is assessed.
