Mitochondrial genome fragmentation is correlated with increased rates of molecular evolution

2023-06-22

Abstract excerpt

Animal mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) typically exhibit a highly conserved gene content and organisation, with genes encoded on a single circular chromosome. However, many species of parasitic lice (Insecta: Phthiraptera) are notable exceptions, having mitogenomes fragmented into multiple circular chromosomes. To understand the process of mitogenome fragmentation, we conducted a large-scale genomic study of a...
