Strong Variations of Mitochondrial Mutation Rate across Mammals—the Longevity Hypothesis

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is the most popular marker of molecular diversity in animals, primarily because of its elevated mutation rate. After >20 years of intensive usage, the extent of mitochondrial evolutionary rate variations across species, their practical consequences on sequence analysis m...
