| Abstract |
Jaminaea angkorensis is an anamorphic basidiomycetous yeast species originally isolated from decaying leaves in Cambodia. Taxonomically, J. angkorensis is affiliated with Microstromatales (Exobasidiomycetes, Ustilaginomycotina, Basidiomycota) and represents a basal phylogenetic lineage of this fungal order. To perform a comparative analysis of J. angkorensis with other basidiomycetes, we determined and analyzed its complete mitochondrial DNA sequence. The mitochondrial genome is represented by 29,999 base pairs long, circular DNA containing 32 % guanine and cytosine residues. Its genetic organization is relatively compact and comprises typical genes for 15 conserved proteins involved in oxidative phosphorylation (atp6, 8, and 9; cob; cox1, 2, and 3; and nad1, 2, 3, 4, 4L, 5, and 6) and translation (rps3), two ribosomal RNAs (rnl and rns) and twenty-two transfer RNAs (trnA-Y). Although the gene content is similar to other basidiomycetes, the gene orders in the examined species exhibit only a limited synteny, reflecting their phylogenetic distances and extensive genome rearrangements. In addition, a comparative analysis of basidiomycete mitochondrial genomes indicates that stop-to-tryptophan reassignment of the UGA codon was accompanied by structural alterations of tRNA-Trp(CCA). These results provide an insight into the evolution of the genetic code in fungal mitochondria. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 6. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 26 September 2013.
All research outputs
#5,850,615
of 22,723,682 outputs
Outputs from Current Genetics
#259
of 1,203 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#50,878
of 204,189 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Current Genetics
#1
of 6 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,723,682 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 74th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,203 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.3. This one has done well, scoring higher than 78% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 204,189 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 74% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 6 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than all of them
