Tick-box for 3'-end formation of mitochondrial transcripts in Ixodida, basal chelicerates and Drosophila.

According to the tRNA punctuation model, the mitochondrial genome (mtDNA) of mammals and arthropods is transcribed as large polycistronic precursors that are maturated by endonucleolytic cleavage at tRNA borders and RNA polyadenylation. Starting from the newly sequenced mtDNA of Ixodes ricinus and u...
