Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) provides more information than individual genes. It exhibits the characteristics of maternal inheritance, a high evolutionary rate and a relatively low intermolecular recombination rate, and it is becoming increasingly common for mitochondrial genomes to be used for phylogenetic reconstruction. The mitogenome can also provide direct molecular clues for gene rearrangement processes, which would reveal important information for phylogenetic analyses.
This Special Issue will cover aspects of the mitochondrial genome of animals, such as mitochondrial genome sequencing, sequence comparison, gene rearrangement, phylogenetic association, etc. This topic will provide valuable information on mitochondrial genome technologies and approaches, contributing to clarifying gene rearrangement and evolutionary relationships among species.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Genes is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
