Figure 2. Mitochondrial gene arrangements in the hypothetical ancestor of Acariformes, Phyllocoptes taishanensis and Epitrimerus sabinae.

Underlined genes are on the N-strand. Translocated or inverted genes are color-coded (blue: inversion and translocation; green: translocation; orange: inversion). rRNA genes are in grey; control regions are in black. Abbreviations of gene names are the same as in Fig. 1. Lines between genes indicate gene rearrangement. The positions of trnQ and trnY are unclear. Question marks after tRNA genes indicate uncertain locations.
