Abstract excerpt
Coordinated genetic and physical interactions between mitochondrial and nuclear gene products regulate ATP production in the mitochondria. Linking mitochondrial genotypes and mitonuclear genetic interactions to phenotypes remains a complex challenge. Here, we have developed Caenorhabditis elegans as a model for mitonuclear epistasis studies. In a sample of 540 genetically distinct wild isolates, 10% of sites in...
