Sources of error in uncovering of the low level mitochondrial heteroplasmy landscape

Abstract:

As organelles descendant from an ancient endosymbiont, mitochondria retain their own short circular genomes, with multiple copies of the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) distributed through the mitochondrial network within a cell. The multi-copy nature of the mitochondrial genome enables variant mtDNA copies to coexist within the same cell or organism. This well documented phenomenon, known as heteroplasmy, is a key feature of mitochondrial genetics that distinguishes mtDNA from its nuclear counterp...
