Evidence of two deeply divergent co-existing mitochondrial genomes in the Tuatara reveals an extremely complex genomic organization

Robert Macey et al. use deep sequencing to reveal two co-existing, deeply divergent, fully functional mitochondrial genomes in a single Tuatara from Lady Alice Island, New Zealand. This finding will stimulate further investigation, having profound implications for our understanding of mitochondrial...
