RESUMO

The control region of the mtDNA of Mytilus is known to contain sequences that determine whether the genome will be paternally or maternally transmitted. An open reading frame (ORF) in this region raised suspicion that it may code for a protein involved in this mechanism. An analysis of the mtDNA transcriptome failed to produce evidence for this hypothesis.
