Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Mitochondrial (mt) heteroplasmy can cause adverse biological consequences when deleterious mtDNA mutations accumulate disrupting "normal" mt-driven processes and cellular functions. To investigate the heteroplasmy of such mtDNA changes, we developed a moderate throughput mt isolation procedure to quantify the mt single-nucleotide variant (SNV) landscape in individual mouse neurons and astrocytes. In...
