“…Studies on the fungal mitogenomes have shown that fungal mitogenomes exhibited significant variations in gene order, introns, intergenic regions, genome size, and repetitive sequences (Zhang et al, 2016;Zhang Y.J. et al, 2017;Fourie et al, 2018;Wang et al, 2020a;Li et al, 2021). Despite enormous variations in the fungal genome, the 15 protein-coding genes, including atp6, atp8, atp9, cob, cox1, cox2, cox3, nad1, nad2, nad3, nad4, nad4L, nad5, nad6, and rps3, have been detected in most basidiomycete mitochondrial genomes, which were considered 1 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genome/browse#!/organelles/ to be core protein-coding genes (PCGs) in the basidiomycete mitochondrial genomes.…”
