Strategy used in this study for identification of gene orders within duplicated regions in palaeognaths: Struthio camelus (a), Rhea americana and Rhea pennata (b) and Crypturellus tataupa (c) mitogenomes. L – gene for tRNA-Leu, ND5 – gene for NADH dehydrogenase subunit 5, cytb – gene for cytochrome b, T – gene for tRNA-Thr, P – gene for tRNA-Pro, ND6 – gene for NADH dehydrogenase subunit 6, E – gene for tRNA-Glu, CR – control region, F – gene for tRNA-Phe, 12S – gene for 12S rRNA, V – gene for tRNA-Val, 16S – gene for 16S rRNA. L-F, ND5-F, CR-R, ND6-F, ND6-R, D-F, D-R, CR-F, 12S-R, 16S-R: primers that were used for amplification of four overlapping mitogenomic fragments
