Assembly and comparative analysis of the complete mitochondrial genomes of five Thaxterogaster species (Cortinariaceae, Basidiomycota): Insights into mitochondrial genome evolution and intrageneric phylogenetic relationships

Abstract The generic circumscription and taxonomic rank of Thaxterogaster have undergone substantial revisions over time, yet the intrageneric phylogenetic affinities of this genus remain contentious. While mitochondrial genomes are effective molecular markers for phylogenetic analyses, systematic studies based on comp...
