Abstract excerpt
This protocol describes the methodology to characterize mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) heteroplasmy by parallel sequencing. Mitochondria play an important role in essential cellular functions. Each eukaryotic cell contains hundreds of mitochondria with hundreds of mitochondria genomes. Mutant and wild-type mtDNA may co-exist as heteroplasmy, and cause human disease. The purpose of this protocol is to simultaneously...
