2.5 Repetitive element analysis
Tandem repeats (> 10 bp in length) in the four mitogenomes
were detected using the Tandem Repeats Finder program [47], with
default parameters. In addition, repeat sequences were identified using
the REPuter program [48] to identify forward (direct), reverse,
complemented, and palindromic (reverse complemented) repeats across the
four mitogenomes, using a minimum repeat size of 30 and a hamming
distance set to 3.
