Complete vertebrate mitogenomes reveal widespread repeats and gene duplications

Abstract Background Modern sequencing technologies should make the assembly of the relatively small mitochondrial genomes an easy undertaking. However, few tools exist that address mitochondrial assembly directly. Results As part of the Vertebrate Genomes Project (VGP) we develop mitoVGP, a fully au...
