Mealybugs' missing mitochondrial genes aren't missing after all, rather, they are tucked in on the opposite DNA strand running the other way. This sort of trickery I only knew from viral genomes.
The amount of genes we may have missed in existing genomes might be a scarily large number. Reminded of the human Y chromosome story, that started at only 3 genes ca. year 2000 and now is already at over 300.

Martin Picard’s Mitochondrial Theory of Mind…
https://www.quantamagazine.org/martin-picards-mitochondrial-theory-of-mind-20260717/
"Picard agreed that some of the lab’s hypotheses at first strike some academic researchers as sounding a little 'woo.' But science has always been driven by bold, challenging ideas that are then rigorously tested and refined. As Picard put it, 'There’s a lot of things that used to be considered ‘woo’ until we understood them'." #mitochondria -

SOURCE: SCIENCE DAILY PSYCHOLOGY FEEDTITLE: Mediterranean diet may activate tiny proteins that protect the heart and brain
URL: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/07/260716023605.htm
The Mediterranean diet may influence aging through tiny proteins produced inside the cell’s mitochondria. Older adults who followed the diet most closely had higher levels of humanin and SHMOOSE, which have been linked to heart and brain protection. Olive oil, fish, legumes, and fewer refined carbohydrates appeared especially important. The findings could eventually help scientists develop more personalized nutrition plans for healthy aging.

A presentation at this month's Society for Experimental Biology Conference showed that birds can maintain high energy expenditures by using lactate, normally a waste product, to rapidly restore hemoglobin's function. This takes place in mitochondria of red blood cells--a feature that mammalian cells lack.

“Mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell” 🔬
But it’s not just a saying… it’s actually true. Mitochondria produce the energy (ATP) that cells need to function.

🦠🔬⚡ ''From this intimate alliance emerged the eukaryotic cell – and with it, the possibility of complex life. Every plant, animal and thinking being traces its lineage back to that ancient symbiosis. Our capacity for reflection, imagination and doubt rests upon what was once a free-living microbe. We call these descendants mitochondria.''
