Climate associated natural selection in the human mitochondrial genome

2025-05-27

Abstract excerpt

Mitochondria are essential for cellular energy production and biosynthesis, thermogenesis, and cell signalling, and thus help coordinate physiological responses to changing environments. Humans ( Homo sapiens ) have adapted to cope with a wide range of climatic conditions, however the role of the mitochondrial genome (mtDNA) in mediating this process remains poorly understood. Here we curated a dataset of 23,790...
