Positive selection on two mitochondrial coding genes and adaptation signals in hares (genus Lepus) from China

Abstract Background Animal mitochondria play a central role in energy production in the cells through the oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) pathway. Recent studies of selection on different mitochondrial OXPHOS genes have revealed the adaptive implications of amino acid changes in these subunits. I...
