Degenerate mitochondria.

EMBO reports - 1 Jun 2005

van der Giezen Mark, Tovar Jorge

Abstract excerpt

Mitochondria are the main sites of biological energy generation in eukaryotes. These organelles are remnants of a bacterial endosymbiont that took up residence inside a host cell over 1,500 million years ago. Comparative genomics studies suggest that the mitochondrion is monophyletic in origin. T...
