New 🐌 paper alert! We showed that snails with v. few mtDNA copies per nuclear genome (<10) have a v. high rate of heteroplasmy; heteroplasmy is inherited through the germline, albeit with selection against synonymous mutations. We also found that some mtDNA genomes have tRNAs that are repeated up to 24 times! https://doi.org/10.1186/s12864-024-10505-w
