Molecular Analysis of Mazandrani native chicken population based on HVR-I region of Mitochondrial DNA [PDF]
Reserving genetic diversity in native chicken breeds of Iran because of little population size is necessary for breeding goals and increasing their production. The first step is determination of genetic diversity in existing populations.

In vivo methylation of mtDNA reveals the dynamics of protein–mtDNA interactions [PDF]
To characterize the organization of mtDNA-protein complexes (known as nucleoids) in vivo, we have probed the mtDNA surface exposure using site-specific DNA methyltransferases targeted to the mitochondria. We have observed that DNA methyltransferases have different accessibility to different sites on the mtDNA based on the levels of protein occupancy ...

The interpretation of a signal sent by the mtDNA cytb gene as a molecular marker in phylogenetic and population genetic research can be complicated by cumulative influence of parallel mutations, i.e., the entropy of nucleotide sequences.

Untangling Neolithic and Bronze Age mitochondrial lineages in South Asia
Two key moments shaped the extant South Asian gene pool within the last 10 thousand years (ka): the Neolithic period, with the advent of agriculture and the rise of the Harappan/Indus Valley Civilisation; and Late Bronze Age events that witnessed the ...

Mitochondrial dysfunction at the cornerstone of inflammatory exacerbation in aged macrophages
Immunosenescence encompasses multiple age-related adaptations that result in increased susceptibility to infections, chronic inflammatory disorders, and higher mortality risk.

Telomere Length as a Marker of Suicidal Risk in Schizophrenia [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Schizophrenia and suicidal behavior are associated with shortening in the length of telomeres. The aim of the study was to compare the content (pg/mcg) of telomeric repeat in DNA isolated from peripheral blood cells in three groups of ...

Melanesian populations are known for their diversity, but it has been hard to grasp the pattern of the variation or its underlying dynamic. Using 1,223 mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequences from hypervariable regions 1 and 2 (HVR1 and HVR2) from 32 populations, we found the among-group variation is structured by island, island size, and also by language ...

mtDNA in the Pathogenesis of Cardiovascular Diseases [PDF]
The incidence rate of cardiovascular disease (CVD) has been increasing year by year and has become the main cause for the increase of mortality. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of CVD, especially in heart failure and ischemic heart diseases.

Mitochondrial DNA-based genetic evaluation of autochthonous cattle breeds in Croatia
Genetic diversity and phylogenetic relationship of three Croatian autochthonous cattle breeds was analyzed using a sequence of the mtDNA D-loop region. Among Busha, Istrian, and Slavonian Syrmian Podolian cattle 146 unrelated animals were tested.
