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 ...

Mitochondria possess two dynamic membranes that envelop a multi-copy genome essential for aerobic energy metabolism. Metazoan mitochondrial DNA is one of the most constrained and simplified genomes ...

known today as mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). Today mtDNA produces 13 key mitochondrial proteins. As mitochondria age, they change shape and become less active. Eventually they fail and release mtDNA.

Mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome (MTDPS) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by a marked decrease in mitochondrial ...

Mitochondria are responsible for energy production ... It is genetic, caused by mutations of DNA. There is no cure but many of the problems associated with it can be treated.

▎药明康德内容团队编辑（来源：北京大学）线粒体是细胞中的“动力工厂”，与核基因组不同，线粒体基因组较小且呈环状，仅包含少量基因，然而其突变却可能导致一系列遗传性疾病。线粒体DNA与核基因组DNA由线粒体膜和核膜分别包裹，互相隔绝。然而在“内共生学说” ...

Scientists have uncovered genetic variation in the unexplored DNA of the photosynthetic and energy factories of Arabidopsis ...

Mitochondria possess their own DNA (mtDNA), which plays important roles in cellular respiration and energy consumption.

The rare hereditary condition known as mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome (MTDPS) is typified by a significant reduction in ...
