Complete sequences of numerous mitochondrial, many prokaryotic, and several nuclear genomes are now available. These data confirm that the mitochondrial genome originated from a eubacterial (specifically alpha-proteobacterial) ancestor but raise questions about the evolutionary antecedents of the mitochondrial proteome.
现在已有众多线粒体基因组、许多原核生物基因组以及几个核基因组的完整序列。这些数据证实线粒体基因组起源于真细菌(具体为α-变形菌)祖先,但也引发了关于线粒体蛋白质组进化起源的问题。
