Evolutionary patterns of the mitochondrial control region in vertebrates: A large-scale comparative analysis
The mitochondrial control region (CR) is the largest non-coding region in the vertebrate mitogenome and contains essential elements for replication and transcription. Despite its functional relevance, its evolutionary dynamics remain poorly understood. Here, we analyzed 5,235 complete vertebrate CRs spanning 11 classes...
