Abstract excerpt
Mitochondrial genomes exist in a nested hierarchy of populations where mitochondrial variants are subject to genetic drift and selection at each level of organization, sometimes engendering conflict between different levels of selection, and between the nuclear and mitochondrial genomes. Deletion mutants in the Caenorhabditis elegans mitochondrial genome can reach high intracellular frequencies despite strongly...
