A Complete Mitochondrial Genome Sequence from a Mesolithic Wild Aurochs (Bos primigenius) [PDF]
Background The derivation of domestic cattle from the extinct wild aurochs (Bos primigenius) has been well-documented by archaeological and genetic studies.

DNA Damage and Base Excision Repair in Mitochondria and Their Role in Aging
During the last decades, our knowledge about the processes involved in the aging process has exponentially increased. However, further investigation will be still required to globally understand the complexity of aging.

After initial detection of target archival DNA of a 116-year-old syntype specimen of the smooth lantern shark, Etmopterus pusillus, in a single-stranded DNA library, we shotgun-sequenced additional 9 million reads from this same DNA library.

DNA-PKcs promotes sepsis-induced multiple organ failure by triggering mitochondrial dysfunction
Introduction: Multiple organ failure is the commonest cause of death in septic patients. Objectives: This study was undertaken in an attempt to elucidate the functional importance of DNA-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit (DNA-PKcs) on ...

In the past few years several syndromes have been associated with lesions of the human mitochondrial DNA. MtDNA is a small, circular extra‐nuclear chromosome encoding essential components of the respiratory chain. MtDNA‐related syndromes can be divided into two groups: mitochondrial encephalomyopathies, characterized by the presence of ragged‐red ...

A rapid and efficient method for enriching mitochondrial DNA from plants
Current mitochondrial purification techniques are tedious and protracted due to their emphasis on recovering physiologically active mitochondria. However, for studies that are exclusively interested in isolating mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) for applications

Mitochondrial DNA and disease [PDF]
AbstractMitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) defects are a relatively common cause of inherited disease and have been implicated in both ageing and cancer. MtDNA encodes essential subunits of the mitochondrial respiratory chain and defects result in impaired oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS).

Maternal age effect and severe germ-line bottleneck in the inheritance of human mitochondrial DNA [PDF]
The manifestation of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) diseases depends on the frequency of heteroplasmy (the presence of several alleles in an individual), yet its transmission across generations cannot be readily predicted owing to a lack of data on the size ...
