Mitochondria participate in varieties of cellular events. It is widely accepted that human
mitochondrial genome encodes 13 proteins, 2 rRNAs, and 22 tRNAs. Gene variation derived …

Angiosperm mitochondrial genomes (mtDNA) exhibit variable quantities of alien sequences.
Many of these sequences are acquired by intracellular gene transfer (IGT) from the plastid …

Since mitochondria contribute to tumorigenesis and drug resistance in cancer, mitochondrial
genetic engineering promises a new direction for cancer therapy. Here, we report the use of …

The theory of endosymbiotic origin of chloroplasts has become basal in present-day biology.
In this regard, the emergence of eukaryotic photosynthesis has been established as a result …

Natural competence of mitochondria for DNA uptake has been known for the last 20 years.
Until the present time, all studies of this process have been conducted exclusively in isolated …

Background Next-generation sequencing technology can now be used to sequence
historical specimens from natural history collections, an approach referred to as museomics …

In the present study, we report the high-coverage complete mitochondrial genome
(mitogenome) of the cricket Cardiodactylus muiri Otte, 2007. The mitogenome was …

The mitochondrial population is heterogeneous in eukaryotic cells. The heterogeneity of
mitochondria can be defined as a variation in certain characteristics of mitochondria within …

The phenomenon of DNA import into mitochondria has been shown for all major groups of
eukaryotes. In plants and animals, DNA import seems to occur in different ways. It has been …

Genetic transformation of higher eukaryote mitochondria in vivo is an unresolved and
important problem. For efficient expression of foreign genetic material in mitochondria, it is …
