Long non-coding, tandem-repetitive regions in mitochondrial (mt) genomes of many
metazoans have been notoriously difficult to characterise accurately using conventional …

Traditional approaches for interrogating the mitochondrial genome often involve laborious
extraction and enrichment protocols followed by Sanger sequencing. Although preparation …

Exploring mitochondrial (mt) genomes has significant implications for various fundamental
research areas, including mt biochemistry and physiology, and, importantly, such genomes …

Helminths (worms) include parasitic nematodes (roundworms) and platyhelminths
(flatworms). These worms are abundant, and many of them are of agricultural, aquacultural …

Background Mitochondrial genomes provide useful genetic markers for systematic and
population genetic studies of parasitic helminths. Although many such genome sequences …

Mitochondrial genome content and structure vary widely across the eukaryotic tree of life,
with protists displaying extreme examples. Apicomplexan and dinoflagellate protists have …

Molecular information is crucial for species identification when facing challenging
morphology‐based specimen identifications. The use of DNA barcodes partially solves this …
