Background
There are 24,165 organelle DNA sequences at the Organelle Genome webpage at the NCBI website, as of June 19, 2022. Of these, 14,799 are mitochondrial genomes and 8,050 are chloroplast genomes. Since organelle genomes are very small and very abundant within the cell, they are easy to isolate and sequence. This means that there is a very large number of organelle genome data available for baraminologists to explore and analyze. Using organelle genomes is a quick way to map a large number of species to their respective baramins in preliminary baraminology studies.
The first mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) studies in …
