Atypical mitochondrial inheritance patterns in eukaryotes.

Genome - 1 Oct 2015

Breton Sophie, Stewart Donald T

Abstract excerpt

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is predominantly maternally inherited in eukaryotes. Diverse molecular mechanisms underlying the phenomenon of strict maternal inheritance (SMI) of mtDNA have been described, but the evolutionary forces responsible for its predominance in eukaryotes remain to be elucidated. Exceptions to SMI have been reported in diverse eukaryotic taxa, leading to the prediction that several distinct...
