Large variation in the ratio of mitochondrial to nuclear mutation rate across animals: implications for genetic diversity and the use of mitochondrial DNA as a molecular …
It is commonly assumed that mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) evolves at a faster rate than
nuclear DNA (nuDNA) in animals. This has contributed to the popularity of mtDNA as a …

Molecular evolution of a widely-adopted taxonomic marker (COI) across the animal tree of life
DNA barcodes are widely used for identification and discovery of species. While such use
draws on information at the DNA level, the current amassment of ca. 4.7 million COI …

Animal mitochondrial DNA as we do not know it: mt-genome organization and evolution in nonbilaterian lineages
Animal mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is commonly described as a small, circular molecule
that is conserved in size, gene content, and organization. Data collected in the last decade …
