Detecting de novo mitochondrial mutations in angiosperms with highly divergent evolutionary rates.

Abstract excerpt

Although plant mitochondrial genomes typically show low rates of sequence evolution, levels of divergence in certain angiosperm lineages suggest anomalously high mitochondrial mutation rates. However, de novo mutations have never been directly analyzed in such lineages. Recent advances in high-fidelity DNA sequencing technologies have enabled detection of mitochondrial mutations when still present at low...
