The mitochondrial genome sequence of the ciliate <it>Paramecium caudatum </it>reveals a shift in nucleotide composition and codon usage within the genus <it>Paramecium</it>

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Despite the fact that the organization of the ciliate mitochondrial genome is exceptional, only few ciliate mitochondrial genomes have been sequenced until today. All ciliate mitochondrial genomes are linear. They are 40 kb to 47 kb...
