The complete mitochondrial genome of the Antarctic springtail Cryptopygus antarcticus (Hexapoda: Collembola)
Background: Mitogenomics data, i.e. complete mitochondrial genome sequences, are popular molecular markers used forphylogenetic, phylogeographic and ecological studies in different animal lineages. Their comparative analysis has been used toshed light on the evolutionary history of given taxa and on...
