Novel mitochondrial genome rearrangements including duplications and extensive heteroplasmy could underlie temperature adaptations in Antarctic notothenioid fishes

Abstract Mitochondrial genomes are known for their compact size and conserved gene order, however, recent studies employing long-read sequencing technologies have revealed the presence of atypical mitogenomes in some species.In this study, we assembled and annotated the mitogenomes of five Antarctic notothenioids, including four icefishes (Champsoc
