Abstract excerpt
Variants in mitochondrial genomes (mtDNA) can cause various neurological and mitochondrial diseases such as mitochondrial myopathy, encephalopathy, lactic acidosis, stroke-like episodes (MELAS). Given the 16 kb length of mtDNA, continuous sequencing is feasible using long-read sequencing (LRS). Herein, we aimed to show a simple and accessible method for comprehensive mtDNA sequencing with potential diagnostic...
