Abstract excerpt
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations are critical to disease research, evolutionary studies, and lineage tracing but are challenging to analyze due to interference from nuclear mitochondrial sequences (NUMTs). Current high-throughput sequencing techniques rely on multiple primers or probes to amplify short mtDNA fragments, followed by alignment to a reference genome. However, this approach fails to mitigate NUMTs...
