Abstract excerpt
The vertebrate mitochondrial genome is characterized by an exceptional organization evolving towards a reduced size. However, the persistence of a non-coding and highly variable control region is against this evolutionary trend that is explained by the presence of conserved sequence motifs or binding sites for nuclear-organized proteins that regulate mtDNA maintenance and expression. We performed a comparative...
