Joint inference of cell lineage and mitochondrial evolution from single-cell sequencing data.

Abstract excerpt

MOTIVATION: Eukaryotic cells contain organelles called mitochondria that have their own genome. Most cells contain thousands of mitochondria which replicate, even in nondividing cells, by means of a relatively error-prone process resulting in somatic mutations in their genome. Because of the higher mutation rate compared to the nuclear genome, mitochondrial mutations have been used to track cellular lineage,...
