Comparative analysis of mitochondrial genomes in lycoperdaceae fungi reveals intron dynamics and phylogenetic relationships
This study represents the first assembly of complete mitogenomes for four species within the Lycoperdaceae family, laying the foundation for subsequent phylogenetic research based on fungal mitochondrial gene dataset. Comparative analysis revealed the contribution of gene composition and introns to the mitochondrial genome size. Their mitochondrial genomes underwent frequent intron loss or gain events and potential intron transfer in evolution.
