From: Fragmented mitochondrial genomes of seal lice (family Echinophthiriidae) and gorilla louse (family Pthiridae): frequent minichromosomal splits and a host switch of lice between seals

Fig. 1

Mitochondrial genomes of five seal louse species: A southern elephant seal louse, Lepidophthirus macrorhini; B northern fur seal louse, Proechinophthirus fluctus; C Weddell seal louse, Antarctophthirus carlinii, and crabeater seal louse, Antarctophthirus lobodontis; and D Australian sea lion louse, Antarctophthirus microchir. Conserved AT-rich motifs are in red and conserved GC-rich motifs are in green. In Antarctophthirus microchir, AT-rich motifs were not identified and GC-rich motifs were identified in only five of the 12 minichromosomes. Names and transcription orientation of genes are indicated in the coding region. Gene names are: atp6 and atp8 for ATP synthase subunits 6 and 8; cob for cytochrome b; cox1-3 for cytochrome c oxidase subunits 1-3, nad1-5 and nad4L for NADH dehydrogenase subunits 1-5 and 4 L; rrnS and rrnL for small and large subunits of ribosomal RNA. tRNA genes are indicated with their single-letter abbreviations of the corresponding amino acids
