MitoZoa
General Information
MitoZoa is a specialized database collecting complete and nearly-complete (longer than 7 kb) mtDNA entries of metazoan species, excluding Placozoa. MitoZoa contains curated entries, whose gene annotation has been significantly improved using a semi-automatic reannotation pipeline and by manual curation of mitogenomics experts.
MitoZoa has been specifically designed to address comparative analyses of mitochondrial genomic features in a given metazoan group or in species belonging to the same genus (congeneric species). MitoZoa focuses on mitochondrial gene order, non-coding regions, gene content, and gene sequences.

Before: MitoZoa is a specialized database collecting complete and nearly-complete (longer than 7 kb) mtDNA entries of metazoan species, excluding Placozoa. One representative entry is present for those metazoan species/subspecies for which the mtDNA has been sequenced in several individuals. MitoZoa contains curated entries, whose gene annotation has been significantly improved using a semi-automatic reannotation pipeline and by manual curation of mitogenomics experts. MitoZoa has been specifically designed to address comparative analyses of mitochondrial genomic features in a given metazoan group or in species belonging to the same genus (congeneric species). MitoZoa focuses on mitochondrial gene order|non-coding regions|gene content|and gene sequences.
