| mitochondrial genome evolution and trna truncation in acariformes mites: new evidence from eriophyoid mites. | the subclass acari (mites and ticks) comprises two super-orders: acariformes and parasitiformes. most species of the parasitiformes known retained the ancestral pattern of mitochondrial (mt) gene arrangement of arthropods, and their mt trnas have the typical cloverleaf structure. all of the species of the acariformes known, however, have rearranged mt genomes and truncated mt trnas. we sequenced the mt genomes of two species of eriophyoidea: phyllocoptes taishanensis and epitrimerus sabinae. the ... | 2016 | 26732998 |
