The molecular evolutionary dynamics of oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) genes in Hymenoptera

Abstract Background The primary energy-producing pathway in eukaryotic cells, the oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) system, comprises proteins encoded by both mitochondrial and nuclear genes. To maintain the function of the OXPHOS system, the pattern of substitutions in mitochondrial and nuclear ge...
