Abstract excerpt
<h4>Summary</h4> Mitochondria are involved in energetic, biosynthetic, and homeostatic processes in eukaryotic cells. Mitochondria carry their own circular genome and disruption of the quantity or quality of mitochondrial genome is associated with various aging-related diseases 1–3 .
