Systematic Position of the African Dormouse Graphiurus (Rodentia, Gliridae) Assessed from Cytochrome b and 12S rRNA Mitochondrial Genes

Summary
Analysis of 12S RNA and cytochrome b mitochondrial gene sequences for six glirid genera reveals that Graphiurus is clearly a member of the Gliridae, refuting the hypothesis that the family could be paraphyletic and postulate that its hystricomorphous condition has been achieved convergently with other hysticomorphous rodents.
