An aerobic eukaryotic parasite with functional mitochondria that likely lacks a mitochondrial genome
Science Advances, 2019 The parasitic marine dinoflagellate Amoebophrya is the first known eukaryote with aerobic mitochondria without a genome. Dinoflagellates are microbial eukaryotes that have exceptionally large nuclear genomes; however, their organelle genomes are small ...

Draft genome sequence of the Daphnia pathogen Octosporea bayeri: insights into the gene content of a large microsporidian genome and a model for host-parasite interactions [PDF]
, 2009 Background: The highly compacted 2.9-Mb genome of Encephalitozoon cuniculi placed the microsporidia in the spotlight, encoding a mere 2,000 proteins and a highly reduced suite of biochemical pathways.

Plant Organelle DNA Maintenance
Plants, 2020 Plant cells contain two double membrane bound organelles, plastids and mitochondria, that contain their own genomes. There is a very large variation in the sizes of mitochondrial genomes in higher plants, while the plastid genome remains relatively ...

Genome editing in mitochondria corrects a pathogenic mtDNA mutation in vivo
Nature Medicine, 2018 Mutations of the mitochondrial genome (mtDNA) underlie a substantial portion of mitochondrial disease burden. These disorders are currently incurable and effectively untreatable, with heterogeneous penetrance, presentation and prognosis.

Mitochondria: their role in spermatozoa and in male infertility.
Human Reproduction Update, 2021 BACKGROUND The best-known role of spermatozoa is to fertilize the oocyte and to transmit the paternal genome to offspring. These highly specialized cells have a unique structure consisting of all the elements absolutely necessary to each stage of ...
