Did you know that you have a second genome? Small cellular organelles called mitochondria contain their own circular DNA. What happens to your cells when this DNA mutates? Similar to the nuclear ...
bioenergetics and genetic drift of mitochondrial DNA subpopulations, along with an increased appreciation of differences in the mitochondrial proteome in different cell types, might help to ...
Thomas Hurd, associate professor in the Department of Molecular Genetics at the University of Toronto, will talk about mtDNA degradation at 12:55 p.m. Wednesday in Bell Engineering 2267.
The other approach analyzes mitochondrial DNA, or mtDNA. Because mtDNA tends to survive long after nuclear DNA has disintegrated, this approach is useful in identifying the remains of persons who ...
Purpose It has been hypothesised that certain mitochondrial haplogroups, which are defined by the presence of a characteristic cluster of tightly linked mitochondrial DNA polymorphisms, would be ...
