genomic studies and the availability of more than 1000 sequences provides an almost …

Biparental inheritance through uniparental transmission: the doubly uniparental inheritance (DUI) of mitochondrial DNA

E Zouros - Evolutionary Biology, 2013 - Springer
Many bivalvian mollusks have a sperm-transmitted mitochondrial genome (M), along with
