A Bioinformatics Pipeline for Estimating Mitochondria DNA Copy Number and Heteroplasmy Levels from Whole Genome Sequencing Data
2021-12-30
Abstract excerpt
Mitochondrial diseases are a heterogeneous group of disorders that can be caused by mutations in the nuclear or mitochondrial genome. Mitochondrial DNA variants may exist in a state of heteroplasmy, where a percentage of DNA molecules harbor a variant, or homoplasmy, where all DNA molecules have a variant. The relative quantity of mtDNA in a cell, or copy number (mtDNA-CN), is associated with mitochondrial functio...
