Mitochondrial gene content is highly variable across extant eukaryotes. The number of
mitochondrial protein genes varies from 3 to 67, while tRNA gene content varies from 0 to …

The human cell is a symbiosis of two life forms, the nucleus-cytosol and the mitochondrion.
The nucleus-cytosol emphasizes structure and its genes are Mendelian, whereas the …

We used DNA sequencing and gel blot surveys to assess the integrity of the chloroplast
gene infA, which codes for translation initiation factor 1, in> 300 diverse angiosperms …

▪ Abstract Over the past several decades, our knowledge of the origin and evolution of
mitochondria has been greatly advanced by determination of complete mitochondrial …

Mitochondrial pseudogenes in the human nuclear genome have been previously described,
mostly as a source of artifacts during the analysis of the mitochondrial genome. With the …

The mitochondria contain their own genome derived from an alphaproteobacterial
endosymbiont. From thousands of protein-coding genes originally encoded by their …

According to theory, present eukaryotic cells originated from a beneficial association
between two free-living cells. Due to this endosymbiotic event the pre-eukaryotic cell gained …

We have prepared a molecular map of the Chlamydomonas reinhardtii genome anchored to
the genetic map. The map consists of 264 markers, including sequence-tagged sites (STS) …

Mitochondrial-DNA diseases have no effective treatments. Allotopic expression—synthesis
of a wild-type version of the mutated protein in the nuclear-cytosolic compartment and its …

The possibility of expressing mitochondrial DNA-coded genes in the nuclear-cytoplasmic
compartment provides an attractive system for genetic treatment of mitochondrial disorders …
