Mitochondrial Genomes Energize RefSeq


NCBI now offers a collection of 145 eukaryotic organelle genome sequences as part of RefSeq. These include 123 complete mitochondrial sequences as well as 16 complete plastid sequences. The animal (metazoan) mitochondrial records are considered Reviewed; that is, they have been manually curated by the NCBI staff and include standardized gene, protein, and RNA names. Other mitochondrial and chloroplast genome records are still Provisional RefSeq entries and are therefore presented as found in the source GenBank records used to create them.
