摘要：

I report a framework for assessing whether one mitochondrial genome is significantly more rearranged than another. This relative rate of gene rearrangenrent test (RGR) behaves according to expectation, distinguishing between highly rearranged and mildly rearranged insect mitochondrial genomes. It may be more broadly applied to assess the relative rate of nuclear gene rearrangement.
