Mitochondrial genetics.

WormBook : the online review of C. elegans biology - 14 Sept 2005

Lemire Bernard

Abstract excerpt

The mitochondrial genome is vital for Caenorhabditis elegans metabolism, physiology, and development. The C. elegans mitochondrial DNA is typical of animal mitochondrial genomes in its size and gene content. It is 13,794 nucleotides in length and encodes 36 genes: 2 ribosomal RNAs, 22 transfer RNAs, and 12 protein subunits of the mitochondrial respiratory chain. Although it represents only a small number of...
