Mitochondrial DNA Variation and Selfish Propagation Following Experimental Bottlenecking in Two Distantly Related <i>Caenorhabditis briggsae</i> Isolates

Understanding mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) evolution and inheritance has broad implications for animal speciation and human disease models. However, few natural models exist that can simultaneously represent mtDNA transmission bias, mutation, and copy number variation. Certain isolates of the nematode...
