Molecular Analysis of Mazandrani native chicken population based on HVR-I region of Mitochondrial DNA [PDF]

open access: yesمجله بیوتکنولوژی کشاورزی, 2010
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.

Transmission of mitochondrial DNA following assisted reproduction and nuclear transfer [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Review of the articleMitochondria are the organelles responsible for producing the majority of a cell's ATP and also play an essential role in gamete maturation and embryo development.

Regulated mitochondrial DNA replication during oocyte maturation is essential for successful porcine embryonic development. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
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]

open access: yesConsortium Psychiatricum, 2022
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

open access: yesCzech Journal of Animal Science, 2014
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]

open access: yes, 2017
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 mtDNA Complexity

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2007
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]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Andrology, 1980
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

open access: yesAnnals of Human Biology, 2019
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 ...
