The adaptive evolution of the mammalian mitochondrial genome.

BMC genomics - 4 Mar 2008

da Fonseca Rute R, Johnson Warren E, O'Brien Stephen J, Ramos Maria João, Antunes Agostinho

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The mitochondria produce up to 95% of a eukaryotic cell's energy through oxidative phosphorylation. The proteins involved in this vital process are under high functional constraints. However, metabolic requirements vary across species, potentially modifying selective pressures. We eva...
