2 Mitogenomes in One Sample

[timz0605]

Hello,

I am using MitoZ to derive the mitogenome of some Porifera and Cnidaria species. They are usually more difficult to work with (especially sponges). There is one sample that I believe has the mitogenomes for both Cnidarian and sponge. I am wondering if MitoZ can pick out 2 different mitogenomes? Or the program is designed to just pick out one mitogenome?

Also, I am wondering if it's possible that the mitogenome I get at the end of the run is the chimera of two different species in this case.

Thank you!

Hi,

MitoZ will output any sequences with more than 5 PCGs, see https://github.com/linzhi2013/MitoZ/wiki/FAQ#can-i-apply-mitoz-to-metagenomic-multiple-species-dataset for details.

If you got two (or more) long mitogenomes, you can annotate them separately (mitoz annotate）.
