Evolution of a unique mitotype-specific protein-coding extension of the cytochrome c oxidase II gene in freshwater mussels (Bivalvia: Unionoida)

A unique mode of mitochondrial DNA inheritance, designated doubly-uniparental inheritance (DUI), occurs in three bivalve subclasses (Pteriomorpha: Mytiloida, Palaeoheterodonta: Unionoida, Heterodonta: Veneroida), indicating that DUI may be a widespread phenomenon among bivalves. In mytiloids, breakd...
