Analysis of non-coding regions in mitochondrial genomes. (A) Predicted secondary structures of light strand replication origin (OL) in P. rubripinnis and I. japonicus. Colors indicate base-pairing probabilities. (B) Multiple sequence alignment of control regions from 13 Scorpaeniformes species. Conserved sequence blocks (CSBs) are highlighted in different colors: CSB-F (orange), CSB-E (navy), CSB-D (yellow), CSB-1 (grey), CSB-2 (blue), and CSB-3 (green). Three novel conserved regions, Region-1 (purple), Region-2 (red), and Region-3 (brown), are also identified. Species names are abbreviated on the left.
