The mitochondrial gene order and CYTB gene evolution in insects by F. S. Sharko, A. V. Nedoluzhko, S. M. Rastorguev, S. V. Tsygankova, E. S. Boulygina, A. A. Polilov, E. B. Prokhortchouk, K. G. Skryabin

“…Mitochondrial DNA genes (mtDNA) are quite often used as markers for phylogenetic research into many organisms including arthropods, because mtDNA is multicopied, is inherited maternally, does not undergo recombination and accumulates mutations quickly enough (relative to the nuclear genome). To date, a large number of full nucleotide sequences of mitogenomes (thousands of organisms) has been deposited in public databases; however, their phylogenetic analysis has obstacles, especially for representatives of the insects (Insecta), whose evolution takes a considerable part of geological time. …”
