Highly rearranged gene orders and rapid evolutionary rates in the mitochondrial genomes of Apodida (Echinodermata: Holothuroidea)
Mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) is a frequently-used tool for phylogenetic and evolutionary studies among metazoans, however, it was still poorly represented in some invertebrate groups, including holothurians. Apodida is one of the most ancient orders of Holothuroidea, with unique characteristics...
