Comparative genomics of marine mussels (Mytilus spp.) gender associated mtDNA: rapidly evolving atp8.

Journal of molecular evolution - 1 Dec 2010

Smietanka Beata, Burzyński Artur, Wenne Roman

Abstract excerpt

The unusual mode of mitochondrial DNA inheritance, with two separate: maternal (F) and paternal (M) lineages, gives unique opportunities to study the evolution of the mitochondrial genome. This system was first discovered in the marine mussels Mytilus. The three related species: Mytilus edulis, Mytilus galloprovincialis and Mytilus trossulus form a complex in which the divergence of M and F lineages pre-dates the...
