Dictyoceratida mtDNA. Schematic and linearized view of the three dictyoceratid mt genomes. The grey vertical bars indicate IGRs of high similarity between the taxa as connected by grey lines. Coloured horizontal bars (also highlighted with triangles and motif names) indicate repetitive regions inside the genomes. Coloured vertical bars (also highlighted with triangles and motif names) inside the genomes display putative RHEs. Their corresponding secondary structure and alignment is provided inside the boxes of the same colour. The GC-content of the Vaceletia mt genome is indicated by the black field below the structure. The numbers in the sequence names refer to their position in the mt genome. The numbers at the structures refer to their position in the alignments.
