Structural and functional organization of the Karelian birch mitochondrial genome

Abstract
For the first time, the mitochondrial genome of the curly birch has been sequenced. The length of the full-length mtDNA molecule was 581.3 thousand base pairs. A total of 65 structural genes were annotated, including 36 protein-coding genes, 26 tRNA genes, and 3 rRNA genes. Genetic features of the structural and functional organization of the mitochondrion were identified in comparison to the chloroplast genome of the curly birch and mitochondrial genomes of other taxonomic groups. A total of 469 microsatellite loci were identified for the development of a panel of highly informative genetic markers.
