Abstract excerpt
The mitochondrial genome (mtDNA) is distinct from the nuclear genome and is known to play a significant role in several disease phenotypes, such as longevity and fertility. Here we characterize the complete mitochondrial genomes (∼16 590 bp), and the extent of within and between strain variation for 27 adult zebrafish, representing five commonly used laboratory strains (AB, TL, HL, WIK, and SJD) and one line...
