Abstract excerpt
Mammalian mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is replicated and transcribed by phage-like DNA and RNA polymerases, and our understanding of these processes has progressed substantially over the last several decades. Molecular mechanisms have been elucidated by biochemistry and structural biology and essential in vivo roles established by cell biology and mouse genetics. Single molecules of mtDNA are packaged by...
