Insect mitochondrial genomics: implications for evolution and phylogeny
SL Cameron - Annual review of entomology, 2014 - annualreviews.org
The mitochondrial (mt) genome is, to date, the most extensively studied genomic system in
insects, outnumbering nuclear genomes tenfold and representing all orders versus very few …
