Mitochondrial genomes and Doubly Uniparental Inheritance: new insights from <it>Musculista senhousia </it>sex-linked mitochondrial DNAs (Bivalvia Mytilidae)

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Doubly Uniparental Inheritance (DUI) is a fascinating exception to matrilinear inheritance of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). Species with DUI are characterized by two distinct mtDNAs that are inherited either through females (F-mtDNA) or...
