Why genes persist in organelle genomes.

Daley DO, Whelan J.

Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics, Stockholm University, S106 91, Sweden.

Mitochondria and plastids (including chloroplasts) have a small but vital genetic coding capacity, but what are the properties of some genes that dictate that they must remain encoded in organelles?
