Abstract excerpt
Human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is a 16.6-kb circular genome that is typically found in approximately 1000 copies per cell. Frequently, one or more forms of mtDNA (i.e. wildtype (WT) and one or more mutant variants) will co-exist within an individual cell, a situation termed heteroplasmy; however, it has been unclear how different mitochondria and mtDNA populations interact functionally in a heteroplasmic cell...
