Aim: To determine whether mtDNA deletions arise upon the loss of mitochondria fusion in heart tissue Method: DNA was isolated heart mitochondria from control and heart-specific double mitofusin1-2 (dM
Mutations in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) may cause maternally-inherited cardiomyopathy and heart failure. In homoplasmy all mtDNA copies contain the mutation. In heteroplasmy there is a mixture of norma
These files contain next-generation sequencing data (sequencer: Ion Torrent PGM) aligned to hg19 genome used to produce the data presented in figure 2A of the manuscript.
A novel, universal method for mutation detection utilising the ability of MutS protein to recognise DNA incomplementarities is proposed. The examined and reference DNA fragments are PCR amplified. The
