A statistical approach was applied to select those models that best fit each individual mitochondrial (mt) protein at different taxonomic levels of metazoans. The existing mitochondrial replacement matrices, MtREV and MtMam, were found to be the best-fit models for the mt-proteins of vertebrates, with the exception of Nd6, at different taxonomic levels. Remarkably, existing mitochondrial matric...

We present a genome assembly from an individual female Vanessa atalanta (the red admiral; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Nymphalidae). The sequence is 370 megabases in span. majority of the (99.44%) scaffolded into 32 chromosomal pseudomolecules, with W and Z sex chromosome assembled. Gene annotation this on Ensembl has identified 12,493 protein coding genes.<...
