Extreme sequence heteroplasmy in bat mitochondrial DNA.
Mitochondrial heteroplasmy is shown to be extensive when amplification products from the mitochondrial control region are cloned and sequenced from a European bat species. In contrast, a mitochondrial ribosomal RNA gene does not exhibit substantial levels of heteroplasmy when analyzed in an identical way. In the bat, heteroplasmy with respect to length as well as sequence seems to be transmitte...
متن کاملNaturally occurring ehrlichiosis in Egyptian dogs
Canine ehrlichiosis has emerged as one of the most clinically important tick-borne diseases affecting dogs. Eighty-five naturally infected dogs have been investigated, the most consistent clinical signs recorded were fever, emaciation and lymphoadenopathy, anemia, monocytosis, thrompocytopenia, hypoalbuminemia, elevation in liver enzymes and total bilirubin were the most remarkable changes asso...
متن کاملUniversal heteroplasmy of human mitochondrial DNA
Mammalian cells contain thousands of copies of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). At birth, these are thought to be identical in most humans. Here, we use long read length ultra-deep resequencing-by-synthesis to interrogate regions of the mtDNA genome from related and unrelated individuals at unprecedented resolution. We show that very low-level heteroplasmic variance is present in all tested healthy i...
متن کاملMitochondrial DNA in the bark weevils: size, structure and heteroplasmy.
Mitochondrial DNA of higher animals has been described as an example of extreme efficiency in genome structure and function. Where exceptionally large size molecules have been found (greater than 20 kb), most have occurred as rare variants within a species, suggesting that these variants arise infrequently and do not persist for long periods in evolutionary time. In contrast, all individuals of...
متن کاملVery Short Mitochondrial DNA Fragments and Heteroplasmy in Human Plasma
Cell free DNA (cfDNA) has received increasing attention and has been studied in a broad range of clinical conditions. However, few studies have focused on mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) in the cell free form. We optimized DNA isolation and sequencing library preparation protocols to better retain short DNA fragments from plasma, and applied these optimized methods to plasma samples from patients wit...
