Abstract excerpt
Mitochondria and chloroplasts are organelles that include their own genomes, which encode key genes for ATP production and carbon dioxide fixation, respectively. Mutations in mitochondrial DNA can cause diverse genetic disorders and are also linked to ageing and age-related diseases, including cancer. Targeted editing of organellar DNA should be useful for studying organellar genes and developing novel...
