New research sheds light on the fundamental scientific premise that mitochondrial DNA — the particular genetic code stored in the organelle that serves as the powerplant for every cell in the body — is exclusively passed down by the mother.
New knowledge about mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations has been obtained through the use of a high-throughput single-cell, single-mitochondrial genome sequencing technique known as iMiGseq. This technology also provides a platform for evaluating mtDNA editing techniques and genetically diag
