Patients with suppressed immunity are at the highest risk for hospital-acquired infections.
Among these, invasive candidiasis is the most prevalent systemic fungal nosocomial …

The serial endosymbiosis theory is a favored model for explaining the origin of mitochondria,
a defining event in the evolution of eukaryotic cells. As usually described, this theory posits …

Mitochondria and plastids (chloroplasts) are cell organelles of endosymbiotic origin that
possess their own genetic information. Most organellar DNAs map as circular double …

Some immortalized mammalian cell lines and tumors maintain or increase the overall length
of their telomeres in the absence of telomerase activity by one or more mechanisms referred …

When a telomere becomes unprotected or if only one end of a chromosomal double-strand
break succeeds in recombining with a template sequence, DNA can be repaired by a …

Accumulating molecular data, particularly complete organellar genome sequences, continue
to advance our understanding of the evolution of mitochondrial and chloroplast DNAs …

In nearly all animals, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) consists of a single circular molecule that
encodes several subunits of the protein complexes involved in oxidative phosphorylation as …

The human oxidative phosphorylation (OxPhos) system consists of approximately 90
proteins encoded by nuclear and mitochondrial genomes and serves as the primary cellular …

The mitochondrial (mt) genomes of animals typically consist of a single circular chromosome
that is∼ 16-kb long and has 37 genes. Our analyses of the sequence reads from the Human …

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) forms a semi-autonomous asexually reproducing genome in
eukaryotic organisms. It plays an essential role in the life cycle through the control of energy …
