Mature sperm lack intact mitochondrial DNA, study finds

New research provides insight about the bedrock scientific principle that mitochondrial DNA—the distinct genetic code embedded in the organelle that serves as the powerplant of every cell in the body—is exclusively passed ...

Uncovering hidden mitochondrial mutations in single cells

A high-throughput single-cell single-mitochondrial genome sequencing technology known as iMiGseq has provided new insights into mutations of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and offers a platform for assessing mtDNA editing strategies ...

New insights into mitochondrial nucleoid dynamics

Mitochondria are important cellular structures that are vital for their role in generating energy. Mitochondria are dynamic, meaning they constantly fuse together and split apart. They contain a small amount of genetic information ...
