We determined the complete mtDNA sequence of the centipede Lithobius forficatus and
found that only one of the 22 inferred tRNA genes encodes a fully paired aminoacyl acceptor …

Mitochondria are the powerhouses of eukaryotic cells. They are considered as semi-
autonomous because they have retained genomes inherited from their prokaryotic ancestor …

The goal of the fungal mitochondrial genome project (FMGP) is to sequence complete
mitochondrial genomes for a representative sample of the major fungal lineages; to analyze …

RNA editing describes targeted sequence alterations in RNAs so that the transcript
sequences differ from their DNA template. Since the original discovery of RNA editing in …

Abstract The 17,191-bp mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) of a Japanese colubrid snake, akamata
(Dinodon semicarinatus), was cloned and sequenced. The snake mtDNA has some peculiar …

The ages of cladogenetic events in Coleoptera are frequently estimated with mitochondrial
protein-coding genes (MPCGs) and the “standard” mitochondrial nucleotide substitution rate …

The complete mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA)(16,896 nt) of the wallaroo (Macropus robustus)
was sequenced. The concatenated amino acid sequences of 12 mitochondrial protein …

APOBEC-1, which mediates the editing of apolipoprotein (apo) B mRNA, is the only known
member of the C (cytidine)→ U (uridine) editing enzyme subfamily of the cytidine deaminase …
