Deskripsi

Large-scale deletions of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) are associated with different human mitochondrial diseases and normal human ageing. Here the authors present a model for mtDNA formation based on generation sequencing analysis of patients samples and in vitro reconstituted mtDNA deletion using purified proteins.
