Analysis of two genomes from the mitochondrion-like organelle of the intestinal parasite Blastocystis: complete sequences, gene content, and genome organization. [PDF]

, 2008
Acquisition of mitochondria by the ancestor of all living eukaryotes represented a crucial milestone in the evolution of the eukaryotic cell. Nevertheless, a number of anaerobic unicellular eukaryotes have secondarily discarded certain mitochondrial ...

High and Variable Rates of Repeat-Mediated Mitochondrial Genome Rearrangement in a Genus of Plants

Molecular biology and evolution, 2018
For 30 years, it has been clear that angiosperm mitochondrial genomes evolve rapidly in sequence arrangement (i.e., synteny), yet absolute rates of rearrangement have not been measured in any plant group, nor is it known how much these rates vary.

A Mutual Information Based Sequence Distance For Vertebrate Phylogeny Using Complete Mitochondrial Genomes [PDF]

, 2007
Traditional sequence distances require alignment. A new mutual information based sequence distance without alignment is defined in this paper. This distance is based on compositional vectors of DNA sequences or protein sequences from complete genomes ...

The Mechanisms of Codon Reassignments in Mitochondrial Genetic Codes [PDF]

, 2007
Many cases of non-standard genetic codes are known in mitochondrial genomes. We carry out analysis of phylogeny and codon usage of organisms for which the complete mitochondrial genome is available, and we determine the most likely mechanism for codon ...

Origin of minicircular mitochondrial genomes in red algae

Nature Communications, 2023
Eukaryotic organelle genomes are generally of conserved size and gene content within phylogenetic groups. However, significant variation in genome structure may occur.

Failure is not an option – mitochondrial genome segregation in trypanosomes

Journal of Cell Science, 2018
Unlike most other model eukaryotes, Trypanosoma brucei and its relatives have a single mitochondrion with a single-unit mitochondrial genome that is termed kinetoplast DNA (kDNA). Replication of the kDNA is coordinated with the cell cycle.

Multiple mitochondrial introgression events and heteroplasmy in trypanosoma cruzi revealed by Maxicircle MLST and next generation sequencing [PDF]

, 2012
Background Mitochondrial DNA is a valuable taxonomic marker due to its relatively fast rate of evolution. In Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas disease, the mitochondrial genome has a unique structural organization consisting of 20–50 ...

Screening for the ancient polar bear mitochondrial genome reveals low integration of mitochondrial pseudogenes (numts) in bears

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2017
Phylogenetic analyses of nuclear and mitochondrial genomes indicate that polar bears captured the brown bear mitochondrial genome 160,000 years ago, leading to an extinction of the original polar bear mitochondrial genome.

Characterization and phylogenetic analysis of the complete mitochondrial genome of Aspergillus sp. (Eurotiales: Eurotiomycetidae)

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2019
In the present study, we presented the complete mitochondrial genome of Aspergillus sp. The complete mitochondrial genome of Aspergillus sp. was composed of circular DNA molecules, with a total length of 31,374 bp.

The mitochondrial genome of Endoconidiophora resinifera is intron rich

Scientific Reports, 2018
Endoconidiophora resinifera (=Ceratocystis resinifera) is a blue-stain fungus that occurs on conifers. The data showed that the Endoconidiophora resinifera mitochondrial genome is one of the largest mitochondrial genomes (>220 kb) so far reported among ...
