Comparing complete animal mitochondrial genome sequences is becoming increasingly common for phylogenetic reconstruction and as a model for genome evolution. Not only are …
Animal mitochondrial DNA is a small, extrachromosomal genome, typically∼ 16 kb in size. With few exceptions, all animal mitochondrial genomes contain the same 37 genes: two for …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses isolation and characterization of animal mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). It summarizes the key patterns that have emerged from the …
Recent data from mitochondrial genomics and proteomics research demonstrate the existence of several atypical mitochondrial protein-coding genes (other than the standard …
Mitochondrial genomes are being used to study increasingly ancient divergences among animal groups. Recent studies of complete mitochondrial DNA sequences have arrived at …

Animal mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is playing an increasingly important role as a genetic marker in population and evolutionary biology. The popularity of this molecule derives, in …
The complete 17,009-bp mitochondrial genome of the domestic cat, Felis catus, has been sequenced and conforms largely to the typical organization of previously characterized …
