Abstract: Unio tumidus is a native European freshwater mussel from the family Unionidae. These mussels have a unique system of mitochondrial DNA inheritance called doubly uniparental inheritance (DUI). Under DUI, two types of mitochondrial DNA are… read more here.

Abstract: The maternal/uniparental inheritance of mitochondria is controlled by the selective elimination of paternal/uniparental mitochondria and digestion of their mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). In isogamy, the selective digestion of mtDNA in uniparental mitochondria is initiated after mating… read more here.
