This research looks into the main DNA markers and the limits of their application in molecular phylogenetic analysis. Melatonin 1B (MTNR1B) receptor genes were analyzed from various biological sources. Based on the coding sequences of this gene, using the class Mammalia as example, phylogenetic reconstructions were made to study the potential of mtnr1b as a DNA marker for phylogenetic relationships investigating. The phylogenetic trees were constructed using NJ, ME and ML methods that establish the evolutionary relationships between different groups of mammals. The resulting topologies were generally in good agreement with topologies established on the basis of morphological and archaeological data as well as with other molecular markers. The present divergences provided a unique opportunity for evolutionary analysis. These results suggest that the coding sequence of the MTNR1B gene can be used as a marker to study the relationships of lower evolutionary levels (order, species) as well as to resolve deeper branches of the phylogenetic tree at the infraclass level.
