Figure 3From: Novel type of linear mitochondrial genomes with dual flip-flop inversion system in apicomplexan parasites, Babesia microti and Babesia rodhainiA postulated mechanism for inversions of Region A and Region B. Recombination between two IR-As (or two IR-Bs) produces an isomeric form characterized by a flip-flop of Region A (or Region B). Dual flip-flop inversions of IR-A and IR-B can generate four distinct genome structures.Back to article page
