Abstract
Key elements in determining the sex-specific transmission of the female and male mitochondrial genomes in Mytilus species with doubly uniparental inheritance of mtDNA are suspected to be contained in the control region. A novel F genome-specific open reading frame (ORF) identified in this region has previously been hypothesized to be involved in the DUI mechanism. In their recent work Kyriakou et al. (2014a) questioned the functionality of this ORF. Here, we present evidence that this ORF is transcribed and may thus code for a functional product. CrownMesh:
