To explore the effects of the mutations of <i>ATP6</i> and <i>ATP8</i> genes on energy metabolism and genetic structure, we sequenced the <i>ATP6</i> and <i>ATP8</i> genes of <i>Ailuropoda melanoleuca</i>. Our results showed that <i>ATP8</i> is a conserved gene and <i>ATP6</i> gene is positively selected during the evolution of the giant panda population with a low genetic diversity. Population expansion was observed in the giant panda group. The T179C mutation on Haplotype7 made the production ...[more]
