Abstract excerpt
Quantitative control of mitochondrial transfer is a promising approach for genetic manipulation of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) because it enables precise modulation of heteroplasmy. Furthermore, single mitochondrion transfer from a mtDNA mutation-accumulated cell to a mtDNA-less (ρ0) cell potentially achieves homoplasmy of mutated mtDNA. Here we describe the method for quantitative control of mitochondrial transfer...
