Sequencing and characterization of the complete mitochondrial genomes of three <i>Pneumocystis</i> species provide new insights into divergence between human and rodent <i>Pneumocystis</i>

Abstract excerpt

Pneumocystis jirovecii is an important opportunistic pathogen associated with AIDS and other immunodeficient conditions. Currently, very little is known about its nuclear and mitochondrial genomes. In this study, we sequenced the complete mitochondrial genome (mtDNA) of this organism and its closely related species Pneumocystis carinii and Pneumocystis murina by a combination of sequencing technologies. Our study...
