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.

Regulated mitochondrial DNA replication during oocyte maturation is essential for successful porcine embryonic development. [PDF]
Cellular ATP is mainly generated through mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation, which is dependent on mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). We have previously demonstrated the importance of oocyte mtDNA for porcine and human fertilization.

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 ...

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.

Site-specific selection reveals selective constraints and functionality of tumor somatic mtDNA mutations. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Previous studies have indicated that tumor mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations are primarily shaped by relaxed negative selection, which is contradictory to the critical roles of mtDNA mutations in tumorigenesis.

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 ...

Uniqueness of Sperm mtDNA as Compared to Somatic mtDNA in Ram [PDF]
Sperm mtDNA exhibits unique physicochemical properties compared with mtDNA from somatic tissues in the ram. The buoyant density of sperm mtDNA was 1.6983 g/cm3 while the brain, heart and liver mtDNAs was about 1.7005 g/cm3. The Tm of the liver and sperm mtDNA was 71.0°C and 69.5°C, respectively.

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 ...
