Abstract excerpt
Genomic variations represent the molecular basis of the biodiversity of living organisms on which selection operates to generate evolution. In eukaryotes, genomic variability can be experienced in both nuclear and organellar, i.e. mitochondrial and plastid (where present), genomes, which can follow completely different evolution pathways, as revealed by comparative genomics analyses. In Metazoa, for which a...
