rKOMICS: an R package for processing mitochondrial minicircle assemblies in population-scale genome projects Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde KU Leuven
Background The advent of population-scale genome projects has revolutionized our biological understanding of parasitic protozoa. However, while hundreds to thousands of nuclear genomes of parasitic protozoa have been generated and analyzed, information about the diversity, structure and evolution of their mitochondrial genomes remains fragmentary, mainly because of their extraordinary complexity. Indeed, unicellular flagellates of the order ...
