Mind the gap! The mitochondrial control region and its power as a phylogenetic marker in echinoids

Abstract Background In Metazoa, mitochondrial markers are the most commonly used targets for inferring species-level molecular phylogenies due to their extremely low rate of recombination, maternal inheritance, ease of use and fast substitution rate in comparison to nuclear DNA. The mitochondrial co...
