Sexual reproduction is a widely spread feature of eukaryotes and was already present in the last eukaryotic common ancestor. While most extant eukaryotes inherit mitochondria from a single parent, the mechanisms enforcing uniparental inheri...
Extreme mitochondrial genome complexity in the calcaronean sponge Sycon ciliatum (Fabricius, 1780): fragmentation, gene duplication and mRNA editing [0.03%]

Mitochondrial genomes (mt-genomes) of calcaronean sponges are among the most unusual in Metazoa. They are fragmented into multiple linear chromosomes (mt-chromosomes) and often rely on insertional mRNA editing to generate functional transcr...

Sex and mitochondria are inextricably linked in the eukaryotic tree of life, a confounding situation given the uniparental inheritance of mitochondria and the biparental inheritance that sexual reproduction entails. Unisexual vertebrate lin...

The origin of eukaryotic cells remains a highly contested problem. While eukaryotes arose from the merger of a bacterial and an archaeal partner giving rise to mitochondria and the cell proper, the order of steps is not known, nor is it und...

Mismatches between interacting mitochondrial and nuclear gene products in hybrids have been proposed to disproportionately contribute to early species boundaries. Under this model, genetic incompatibilities emerge when mitochondrial haploty...

Mitochondrial alternative open reading frames (ORFs) substantially broaden the functional scope traditionally attributed to mitochondrial DNA, encoding peptides and proteins that participate in diverse cellular processes. These newly identi...

The link between longevity and mitochondrial function has been documented; therefore, we suspect that the evolution of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is linked to the evolution of longevity. We selected 128 fish species with a wide range of long...

Mitochondrial genomes (mtDNA) have distinct evolutionary trajectories owing to their inheritance, ploidy and underlying mutation rates, making them prone to accumulate slightly deleterious mutations. Positive selection on mtDNA has been sug...

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) variation is increasingly recognized for its role in shaping evolutionary changes at the species and population levels. Yet, its evolutionary relevance within individuals remains less explored. Eukaryotic cells typ...
