Figure 9. The architecture of mitochondrial chromosomes in 2,267 bilateral animals.

Figure 9

The typical animal mitochondrial chromosome is represented as a single red color circle whereas multipartite chromosomes are represented as small circles. Armadillidium vulgare has a linear chromosome plus a circular chromosome. Numbers in brackets indicate the number of species for which entire genome sequences are known. Stars indicate partial mitochondrial genomes. Phylogeny from the Tree of Life Web Project (http://tolweb.org/tree/).
