Gene conversion shapes linear mitochondrial genome architecture.

Genome biology and evolution - 1 Jan 2013

Smith David Roy, Keeling Patrick J

Abstract excerpt

Recently, it was shown that gene conversion between the ends of linear mitochondrial chromosomes can cause telomere expansion and the duplication of subtelomeric loci. However, it is not yet known how widespread this phenomenon is and how significantly it has impacted organelle genome architecture. Using linear mitochondrial DNAs and mitochondrial plasmids from diverse eukaryotes, we argue that telomeric...
