Mitochondrial genomes of <i>Columbicola</i> feather lice are highly fragmented, indicating repeated evolution of minicircle-type genomes in parasitic lice

2019-06-12

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Most animals have a conserved mitochondrial genome structure composed of a single chromosome. However, some organisms have their mitochondrial genes separated on several smaller circular or linear chromosomes. Highly fragmented circular chromosomes (“minicircles”) are especially prevalent in parasitic lice (Insecta: Phthiraptera), with 16 species known to have between 9 and 20 mitochondrial mini...
