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.
已知贻贝线粒体DNA的控制区域包含决定基因组是通过父系还是母系传递的序列。该区域的一个开放阅读框（ORF）引发了人们的怀疑，即它可能编码一种参与这一机制的蛋白质。对线粒体DNA转录组的分析未能为这一假设提供证据。
