Abstract excerpt
The accumulation of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations in cells is strongly related to aging-associated diseases. Imaging of single-nucleotide variation (SNV) in mtDNA is crucial for understanding the heteroplasmy of mtDNAs that harbor pathogenic changes. Herein, we designed a CRISPR/Cas9-mediated proximity ligation assay (CasPLA) for direct visualization of the ND4 and ND5 genes in the mtDNAs of single cells....
