Association of the mtDNA m.4171C>A/MT-ND1 mutation with both optic neuropathy and bilateral brainstem lesions [PDF]
Background: An increasing number of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations, mainly in complex I genes, have been associated with variably overlapping phenotypes of Leber’s hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON), mitochondrial encephalomyopathy with stroke ...

Assessing the forensic value of DNA evidence from Y chromosomes and mitogenomes [PDF]
Y-chromosomal and mitochondrial DNA profiles have been used as evidence in courts for decades, yet the problem of evaluating the weight of evidence has not been adequately resolved. Both are lineage markers (inherited from just one parent), which presents different interpretation challenges compared with standard autosomal DNA profiles (inherited from ...

Selection and environmental adaptation along a path to speciation in the Tibetan frog Nanorana parkeri. [PDF]
Tibetan frogs, Nanorana parkeri, are differentiated genetically but not morphologically along geographical and elevational gradients in a challenging environment, presenting a unique opportunity to investigate processes leading to speciation. Analyses of

The mitogenome phylogeny of Adephaga (Coleoptera)
The beetle suborder Adephaga consists of several aquatic ('Hydradephaga') and terrestrial ('Geadephaga') families whose relationships remain poorly known. In particular, the position of Cicindelidae (tiger beetles) appears problematic, as recent studies have found them either within the Hydradephaga based on mitogenomes, or together with several ...

Background Plant mitogenomes vary widely in size and genomic architecture. Although hundreds of plant mitogenomes of angiosperm species have already been sequence-characterized, only a few mitogenomes are available from gymnosperms.

Statistical Evaluation of Monophyly in the ‘Broad-Nosed Weevils’ through Molecular Phylogenetic Analysis Combining Mitochondrial Genome and Single-Locus Sequences (Curculionidae: Entiminae, Cyclominae, and Hyperinae) [PDF]
Establishing well-supported monophyletic groups is a key requirement for producing a natural classification that reflects evolutionary descent. In a phylogenetic framework this is best achieved through dense taxon sampling and the analysis of a robust ...

Palaeogenomics: Mitogenomes and Migrations in Europe’s Past [PDF]
The latest in a series of transformative studies of DNA from prehistoric Europeans focuses on mitochondrial DNA, bringing fresh surprises and filling in important details of the early stages of a European ancestry stretching back more than 40,000 years.

Wide crossing diversify mitogenomes of rice [PDF]
AbstractBackgroundIn most angiosperms, the inheritance of the mitochondria takes place in a typical maternal manner. However, very less information is available about if the existence of structural variations or not in mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) between maternal parents and their progenies.ResultsIn order to find the answer, a stable rice ...
