Contrary to the long-held view that most humans harbour only identical mitochondrial
genomes, deep resequencing has uncovered unanticipated extreme genetic variation within …

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA)—which is well known for its role in oxidative phosphorylation
and maternally inherited mitochondrial diseases—is increasingly recognized as an agonist …

Mitochondrial dysfunction is central to numerous diseases of oxidative stress. Changes in
mitochondrial DNA (MtDNA) content, often measured as mitochondrial genome to nuclear …

Describing biological diversity is a challenging endeavour, especially for the small, cryptic
animals that make up the meiofauna. The field of DNA taxonomy, ie, the use of DNA to …

Mitochondrial disorders have emerged as a common cause of inherited disease, but are
traditionally viewed as being difficult to diagnose clinically, and even more difficult to …

To date, morphological analysis has been the cornerstone to trematode systematics.
However, since the late-1980s we have seen an increased integration of genetic data to …

Inflammation benefits the host by promoting the elimination of invading pathogens and
clearance of cellular debris after tissue injury. Inflammation also stimulates tissue repair and …

The authenticity of foodstuffs is an important issue for consumers, regulators, producers and
processors, as fraudulent practices can negatively affect consumer confidence and safety …

Genetic studies of livestock populations focus on questions of domestication, withinand
amongbreed diversity, breed history and adaptive variation. In this review, we describe the …

Here we elucidate and justify a DNA barcode approach to insect species description that
can be applied to name tens of thousands of species of Ichneumonoidea and many other …
