Differences in Strength and Timing of the mtDNA Bottleneck between Zebrafish Germline and Non-germline Cells

Differences in Strength and Timing of the mtDNA Bottleneck between Zebrafish Germline and Non-germline Cells

We studied the mtDNA bottleneck in zebrafish to elucidate size, timing, and variation in germline and non-germline cells. Mature zebrafish oocytes contain, on average, 19.0 × 106 mtDNA molecules with high variation between oocytes. During embryogenesis, the mtDNA copy number decreases to ∼170 mtDNA...
