The metazoan landscape of mitochondrial DNA gene order and content is shaped by selection and affects mitochondrial transcription
The analysis of mitochondrial DNA from over 8000 metazoans shows gene content conservation, association between preference for mtDNA-encoded tRNAs and codon usage, selective constraint for mtDNA rearrangements and their impact on mtDNA transcription.
