Semimytilus algosus: first known hermaphroditic mussel with doubly uniparental inheritance of mitochondrial DNA
Abstract Doubly uniparental inheritance (DUI) of mitochondrial DNA is a rare phenomenon occurring in some freshwater and marine bivalves and is usually characterized by the mitochondrial heteroplasmy of male individuals. Previous research on freshwater Unionida mussels showed that hermaphroditic spe...
