Duplications and repeats across the phylogeny and length deviation in repetitive elements. a The presence of mitochondrial repeats and duplications is mapped onto the tree for each species. The repeats are most often in the CR. Since the tree topology of phylogenies based on mtDNA is often inaccurate, this tree topology is based on relationships determined from current genome-scale phylogenies in the literature [48,49,50,51]. b The length deviation relative to the size of the reference is reported for each read spanning the repetitive region or duplication. No deviation from the assembled VGP reference is marked by the dashed line. Colors correspond to different repeats and duplications. Individual density distributions are shown in the background. Circles highlight five species that had reads that lack gene duplications when these are present in the mitoVGP assembly, suggesting potential heteroplasmy
