Towards understanding the evolutionary dynamics of mtDNA.

Mitochondrial DNA. Part A, DNA mapping, sequencing, and analysis - 1 Dec 2020

Towarnicki Samuel G, Ballard J William O

Abstract excerpt

Historically, mtDNA was considered a selectively neutral marker that was useful for estimating the population genetic history of the maternal lineage. Over time there has been an increasing appreciation of mtDNA and mitochondria in maintaining cellular and organismal health. Beyond energy production, mtDNA and mitochondria have critical cellular roles in signalling. Here we briefly review the structure of mtDNA...
