Mitochondrial genome deletions and minicircles are common in lice (Insecta: Phthiraptera)

4 Aug 2011

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The gene composition, gene order and structure of the mitochondrial genome are remarkably stable across bilaterian animals. Lice (Insecta: Phthiraptera) are a major exception to this genomic stability in that the canonical single chromosome with 37 genes found in almost all other bilaterians has been lost in multiple lineages in favour of multiple, minicircular chromosomes with less than 37 genes on...
