Transcript levels of selected C. p. fossulana and D. melanogaster mitochondrial genes. Copy numbers of the analyzed genes were confirmed by qPCR to be mutually equal to each other within a species. Levels of transcripts from mtDNA strands corresponding to the majority and minority strands of the insect ancestral mitogenome are marked in blue and black, respectively. Transcript levels of C. p. fossulana inserted genes are shown within the red frame and, in most cases, surpass those of the canonical mitochondrial genes. Abbreviation: D.m., D. melanogaster
