Abstract excerpt
Many bivalve species, including mussels of the genus Mytilus, are unusual in having two mtDNA genomes, one inherited maternally (the F genome) and the other inherited paternally (the M genome). The sequence differences between the genomes are usually great, indicating ancient divergence predating speciation events. However, in Mytilus trossulus from the Baltic, both genomes are similar to the F genome from the...
