Figure 3

Comparison of arrangement of the mitochondrial protein-coding and ribosomal RNA genes for 2 bryozoans, 1 brachiopod, 1 phoronid and 1 polyplacophoran. Protein-coding and ribosomal RNA genes are designated by their abbreviations as shown in Fig. 1. Each gene map commences from cox3 and is oriented so that the gene is transcribed from left to right. The rearrangements that are needed to inter-convert the pair of maps are shown, disregarding tRNA genes in which shared gene arrangements are indicated. A circular arrow indicates inversion of a single gene or a block consisting of more than two genes. Dramatic differences were found in tRNA gene positions, but they are not depicted because they are highly complex.
