Fragmentation in mitochondrial genomes in relation to elevated sequence divergence and extreme rearrangements

Fragmentation in mitochondrial genomes in relation to elevated sequence divergence and extreme rearrangements

Abstract Background A single circular mitochondrial (mt) genome is a common feature across most metazoans. The mt-genome includes protein-coding genes involved in oxidative phosphorylation, as well as RNAs necessary for translation of mt-RNAs, whose order and number are highly conserved across anima...
