Life History Traits Impact the Nuclear Rate of Substitution but Not the Mitochondrial Rate in Isopods - Mitochondrial genomes

26 Mitochondrial genomes from the paper "Life history traits impact the nuclear rate of substitution but not the mitochondrial rate in isopods" submitted to Molecular Biology and Evolution. We reconstructed mitochondrial genomes using both the de novo transcriptome assemblies from Francois et al. (2016) and low coverage genome sequencing reads available for 22 species from Lef ebure et al. (2017). Since mitochondrial genomes are present in multiple copies per cell, a very low sequencing effort is sufficient to yield a high coverage for mitochondrial sequences. Using the DNA-seq reads, mitogenomes were assembled with MITObim (Hahn et al. 2013) using the COI gene as a seed to build the complete mitogenome.
