Congratulations to Elena Romanova, Yuri Bukin, Dmitri Scherbakov and coauthors in the occasion of publishing their paper in the journal ‘Genes’!

The paper is devoted to analysis of a metachondrial genome of freshwater pelagic amphipod Macrohectopus branickii,. It describes in details its unusual length, discusses mechanismes of elongation, analyzes distribution of length of mitochondrial genomes in different phyla of invertebrates, finds common and specific traits in their architecture.
