The first animal mitochondrial genomes to be sequenced were of several vertebrates and
model organisms, and the consistency of genomic features found has led to a 'textbook …

Approximately 600-bp sequences of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) have been designated as
“DNA barcodes” and have become one of the most contentious and animated issues in the …

Molluscs comprise the second largest phylum of animals (after arthropods), occurring in
virtually all habitats. Some are commercially important, a few are pests and some carry …

Most heritable information in eukaryotic cells is encoded in the nuclear genome, with
inheritance patterns following classic Mendelian segregation. Genomes residing in the …

Mitochondria possess their own genetic material (mitochondrial DNA or mtDNA), whose
