Cellular and environmental dynamics influence species-specific extents of organelle gene retention
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Mitochondria and plastids rely on many nuclear-encoded genes, but retain small subsets of the genes they need to function in their own organelle DNA (oDNA). Different species retain different numbers of oDNA genes, and the ... -
Selection for biparental inheritance of mitochondria under hybridization and mitonuclear fitness interactions
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Uniparental inheritance (UPI) of mitochondria predominates over biparental inheritance (BPI) in most eukaryotes. However, examples of BPI of mitochondria, or paternal leakage, are becoming increasingly prevalent. Most ...
