Next-generation sequencing of human mitochondrial reference genomes uncovers high heteroplasmy frequency.

Next-generation sequencing of human mitochondrial reference genomes uncovers high heteroplasmy frequency.

We describe methods for rapid sequencing of the entire human mitochondrial genome (mtgenome), which involve long-range PCR for specific amplification of the mtgenome, pyrosequencing, quantitative mapping of sequence reads to identify sequence variants and heteroplasmy, as well as de novo sequence as...
