Genome and phylogenetic analyses of Trypanosoma evansi reveal extensive similarity to T. brucei and multiple independent origins for dyskinetoplasty. [PDF]
, 2015 Two key biological features distinguish Trypanosoma evansi from the T. brucei group: independence from the tsetse fly as obligatory vector, and independence from the need for functional mitochondrial DNA (kinetoplast or kDNA).

Mitochondrial Genome Variants as a Cause of Mitochondrial Cardiomyopathy
Cells, 2022 Mitochondria are small double-membraned organelles responsible for the generation of energy used in the body in the form of ATP. Mitochondria are unique in that they contain their own circular mitochondrial genome termed mtDNA. mtDNA codes for 37 genes, and together with the nuclear genome (nDNA), dictate mitochondrial structure and function.

BMC Plant Biology, 2022 Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas [L.] Lam) is an important food crop, an excellent fodder crop, and a new type of industrial raw material crop. The lack of genomic resources could affect the process of industrialization of sweet potato. Few detailed reports

Mitochondrial Nucleoid: Shield and Switch of the Mitochondrial Genome [PDF]
Oxidative Medicine and Cellular Longevity, 2017 Mitochondria preserve very complex and distinctively unique machinery to maintain and express the content of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). Similar to chromosomes, mtDNA is packaged into discrete mtDNA‐protein complexes referred to as a nucleoid. In addition to its role as a mtDNA shield, over 50 nucleoid‐associated proteins play roles in mtDNA maintenance

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.

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2017 Phylogenetic analyses of nuclear and mitochondrial genomes indicate that polar bears captured the brown bear mitochondrial genome 160,000 years ago, leading to an extinction of the original polar bear mitochondrial genome.

Genome Editing of Plant Mitochondrial and Chloroplast Genomes
Plant And Cell Physiology, 2023 Abstract Plastids (including chloroplasts) and mitochondria are remnants of endosymbiotic bacteria, yet they maintain their own genomes, which encode vital components for photosynthesis and respiration, respectively. Organellar genomes have distinctive features, such as being present as multicopies, being mostly inherited maternally ...

Human mitochondrial transcription and translation
, 2020 The maintenance and expression of the mammalian mitochondrial genome (mtDNA) is a fundamental aspect of mitochondrial biogenesis. The mtDNA is transcribed as precursor polycistronic transcripts containing 11 mRNAs, 2 rRNAs, punctuated by 22 tRNAs.

The Mitochondrial Chaperone Protein TRAP1 Mitigates α-Synuclein Toxicity [PDF]
, 2012 Overexpression or mutation of alpha-Synuclein is associated with protein aggregation and interferes with a number of cellular processes, including mitochondrial integrity and function.
