Mitochondrial genome stability in human: understanding the role of DNA repair pathways

Mitochondrial genome stability in human: understanding the role of DNA repair pathways

Mitochondria are semiautonomous organelles in eukaryotic cells and possess their very own genome that replicates independently. Mitochondria play a significant function in oxidative phosphorylation on account of which its genome is often uncovered to oxidative stress. Components together with ionizing radiation, radiomimetic medication and replication fork stalling also can lead to several types of mutations…

High resolution DNA barcode library for European butterflies reveals continental patterns of mitochondrial genetic diversity

The examine of worldwide biodiversity will enormously profit from entry to complete DNA barcode libraries at continental scale, however such datasets are nonetheless very uncommon. Right here, we assemble the primary high-resolution reference library for European butterflies that gives 97% taxon protection (459 species) and 22,306 COI sequences. We estimate that we captured 62% of…
