  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.

  7. 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...

  8. 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.

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

  10. 🥂 🐌 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

  11. 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

  12. “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

  20. “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.

  22. @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

  25. “MtDNA Haplogroup R consistently demonstrates a protective association against obesity in both Kuwaiti and Qatari populations, highlighting its potential as a biomarker for obesity risk in the Gulf region. However, further research with larger sample sizes is needed to validate these findings and clarify the role of mtDNA variants in obesity.” #isogg #dna #mtdna #mitochondria #haplogroupR

  26. “The new results matched those of the blood analysis from 1996, finding that Hauser’s mitotype — a set of mitochondrial alleles for different genes — was type W. The mitotype of the Badens was type H.” #mtDNA #kasparhauser #baden #DNA #ISOGG #genetics #mitochondria cnn.com/2024/09/21/science/kas

  27. 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! doi.org/10.1186/s12864-024-105

  28. Just read this, pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2317, that extraordinary high rate of mtDNA evolution in some plants is associated low mtDNA copy number. Lower Ne is the obvious explanation - but the authors instead put fwd homologous recombination, because it is less effective in low copy number environments. More complicated explanation, with no direct evidence? Thoughts?
