Abstract excerpt
Mammalian mitochondria possess their own multicopy genome, mtDNA. Although much is known about mtDNA replication and transcription, our knowledge of the mechanisms governing mt-RNA processing, stability and translation remains rudimentary. We have taken a step towards addressing these issues by altering the luciferase reporter gene to accommodate the variation in mitochondrial codon recognition. 19 essential...
