Deskripsi
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 evolution and function.
