  1. Kosakyan et al. sequenced mitogenomes of species from the two main lineages of the Gastrotricha; they found stable mitogenomes in the mostly freshwater Chaetonotida, but a dynamic pattern in the the marine Macrodasyida.

  2. The cover of February's issue of Genome Biology and Evolution features the work of Kosakyan et al. on the evolution of mitochondrial genomes in the Gastrotricha.

  3. “Our finding multiple high‐level and sub‐haplogroup contexts of causal mtDNA pathogenic variants in PMD patients proves that although a possible contributor, the modifying effects of haplogroup context are not a main driver of the diagnostic disparities evident for African patients.” #DNA #Haplogroup #HaplogroupL #isogg #mitochrondria #PMD #mtDNA pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/

  4. Aufgrund statistischer Analysen der mitochondrialen #DNA (#mtDNA) des Homo sapiens wird angenommen, "dass es vor rund 70.000 bis 80.000 Jahren einen genetischen Flaschenhals beim Menschen gegeben haben könnte; seinerzeit hätten demnach nur etwa 1.000 bis 10.000 Individuen von Homo sapiens, größtenteils in Afrika, gelebt."

    Den heutigen prozentualen Anteil an Vollidioten vorausgesetzt, konnte sich der " okay-e" Teil der Menschheit zu dieser Zeit in einer Hütte treffen...

  5. Liu, Liu & Hu retrieved 2,102 mtDNA sequences of 80 Carnivora species from public databases, uncovering several hidden issues that may compromise evolutionary and genetic inferences.

  6. 🧬 Is a “common deletion” in mitochondrial DNA the hidden link between energy metabolism and cancer?

  7. 🥂 🐌 First paper out from our Cuba-UK collaboration 🐌🥂. We used mtDNA and rRNA sequences to place beautiful Polymita snails in a phylogeny. Basically, they are basal to a whole bunch of other important and diverse snail groups. academic.oup.com/mollus/articl

    There's an obvious #paperthemetune, the "Polymita song", by collaborator Norvis Hernandez and others. youtu.be/1srl4_JI_Fs?si=G3Z5bV #snails #mtDNA #phylogenetics #UoN

  8. Fiona's next chapter/paper saw her sampling Pocillopora spp. and associated symbiont communities along a tropical-temperate gradient, and finding that subtropical communities are genetically distinct from their tropical counterparts

  9. “Variation of the mitochondrial genome has been also studied as possible source of incomplete penetrance. In fact, constitutive variants defining mtDNA haplogroup J have been found to increase penetrance in families with the m.11778G>A and, more consistently, with the m.14484T>C mutations.” #dna #isogg #mtdna #mitochondrial #haplogroupj

  11. “We detailed the genetic, clinical, and molecular profiles of two Han Chinese families with MDD. These families exhibited a range of depression severities and notably low penetrance of MDD. Additionally, distinctive mtDNA polymorphisms associated with haplogroups H2 were identified.” #isogg #dna #mtDNA #mitochondrial #epigenetics #geneadons

  13. @projectkinorg probably most Brits forget they have American cousins. In reality, we probably have a lot of them. Food traditions are interesting as they carry a lot of 'cultural memory', particularly down our female, Mitochondrial DNA lines. #mtDNA #genealogy #DNA @geneadons @genealogy #genchat #thanksgiving

  14. “For migration pattern analyses of the first settlers of the Americas, the Native American main founding lineage Q-M3 needs to be further investigated to allow clear genetic differentiation of individuals of different ethnogeographic origins.” #isogg #dna #haplogroupQ #mtDNA #mitochondria #geneadons #nativeamericans #Q-M3

  15. “Accumulative evidence indicates a critical role of mitochondrial function in autism spectrum disorders (ASD), implying that ASD risk may be linked to mitochondrial dysfunction due to DNA (mtDNA) variations.” #isogg #dna #mtdna #autism #epigenetics
