The mitochondrial genome can help researchers map ancestry and better understand the inheritance of mitochondrial diseases.
Mitochondria also contain DNA, and they show similar patterns of uniparental and biparental inheritance. In fact, because most animals lack chloroplasts, the main form of cytoplasmic inheritance ...
The results were published last week (November 26) in PNAS. “This is a very interesting study, bringing compelling evidence that bi-parental inheritance of mitochondrial DNA happens in human,” Sophie ...
