Single-molecule mitochondrial DNA imaging reveals heteroplasmy dynamics shaped by developmental bottlenecks and selection in different organs <i>in vivo</i>
2025-01-25
Abstract excerpt
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) occurs in many copies per cell, with cell-to-cell variability in mutation load, known as heteroplasmy. Developmental and age-related expansion of pathogenic mtDNA mutations contributes to mitochondrial and neurodegenerative disease pathogenesis. Here, we describe an approach for in situ sequence-specific detection of single mtDNA molecules (mtDNA-smFISH). We apply this method to visualiz...
