Long-Lived Species of Bivalves Exhibit Low MT-DNA Substitution Rates

Bivalves represent valuable taxonomic group for aging studies given their wide variation in longevity (from 1–2 to >500 years). It is well known that aging is associated to the maintenance of Reactive Oxygen Species homeostasis and that mitochondria phenotype and genotype dysfunctions accumul...
