Abstract excerpt
The mitochondrial genome of Romanomermis culicivorax, a parasitic nematode of mosquitoes, contains an amplified 3.0-kilobase (kb) locus organized as direct repeats and as noncontiguous, inverted copies. These amplified sequences are actively undergoing rearrangement. One recent event has resulted in a 1133-base pair (bp) deletion located entirely within a single amplified segment. The deletion junction occurs...
