Mitochondrial Genetic Drift after Nuclear Transfer in Oocytes

Mitochondrial Genetic Drift after Nuclear Transfer in Oocytes

Mitochondria are energy-producing intracellular organelles containing their own genetic material in the form of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), which codes for proteins and RNAs essential for mitochondrial function. Some mtDNA mutations can cause mitochondria-related diseases. Mitochondrial diseases are...
