We then discuss the evolutionary features of eukaryote genomes, such as genome duplication, C-value paradox, and the relationship between genome size and mutation rates. Most of the protein coding genes of melon mitochondrial DNAs are highly similar to those of its congeneric species, which are watermelon and squash whose mitochondrial genome sizes are 119 kb and 125 kb, respectively. There are various genomic features that are specifi c to eukaryotes other than existence of introns and junk DNAs, such as genome duplication, RNA editing, C-value paradox, and the relationship between genome size and mutation rates. The Perigord black truffl e ( Tuber melanosporum ), shown as A i n Fig. 8.9 , has the largest genome size (~125 Mb) among the 88 fungi species whose genome sequences were so far determined, yet the number of genes is only ~7,500 [ 81 ] . ./cache/cord-015850-ef6svn8f.txt ./txt/cord-015850-ef6svn8f.txt
