The First Mitochondrial Genomics and Evolution SMBE-Satellite Meeting: A New Scientific Symbiosis
The central role of the mitochondrion for cellular and organismal metabolism is well known, yet its functional role in evolution has rarely been featured in leading international conferences. Moreover, the contribution of mitochondrial genetics to complex disease phenotypes is particularly important, and although major advances have been made in the field of genomics, mitochondrial genomic data...
متن کاملAnalysis of the complete human mtDNA genome: methodology and inferences for human evolution.
The analysis of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequences has been a potent tool in our understanding of human evolution. However, almost all studies of human evolution based on mtDNA sequencing have focused on the control region, which constitutes less than 7% of the mitochondrial genome. The rapid development of technology for automated DNA sequencing has made it possible to study the complete mtDN...
متن کاملMitochondrial genomes: anything goes.
Mitochondria have their own genetic system – a vestigial genome originating from an endosymbiotic a-proteobacterial ancestor. The genetic function of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is well-conserved, being involved in a maximum of five mitochondrial processes: invariantly in respiration and/or oxidative phosphorylation and translation, and also in transcription, RNA maturation and protein import. Re...
متن کاملMitochondrial gene rearrangements: new paradigm in the evolutionary biology and systematics
Mitochondrial (mt) genomic study may reveal significant insight into the molecular evolution and several other aspects of genome evolution such as gene rearrangements evolution, gene regulation, and replication mechanisms. Other questions such as patterns of gene expression mechanism evolution, genomic variation and its correlation with physiology, and other molecular and biochemical mechanisms...
متن کاملMitochondrial Genome Rearrangements in Glomus Species Triggered by Homologous Recombination between Distinct mtDNA Haplotypes
Comparative mitochondrial genomics of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) provide new avenues to overcome long-lasting obstacles that have hampered studies aimed at understanding the community structure, diversity, and evolution of these multinucleated and genetically polymorphic organisms.AMF mitochondrial (mt) genomes are homogeneous within isolates, and their intergenic regions harbor numerou...
