The findings were independently validated using multiple approaches for whole mitochondrial DNA sequencing. The pattern of paternal inheritance of mitochondrial DNA appears to be determined in an ...

Seven strains of the Central American A1 mating series of Didymium iridis were crossed in all possible combinations. Individual plasmodia were isolated and grown to a stage where total DNA could be ...

If the pattern of inheritance is identical, this evidence stable maternal inheritance of the mitochondrial DNA. In humans there is no genetic material that is only transferred through females.

As such, inheritance of mitochondrial respiratory chain disease can either follow dominant or recessive autosomal (Mendelian) inheritance patterns, the strictly matrilineal inheritance observed ...

Doubly uniparental inheritance (DUI) represents a fascinating deviation from the standard maternal transmission of mitochondrial DNA observed in most animals.

In this study, the researchers followed up on those findings, assessing DNA from over 11,000 families who volunteered for the 100,000 Genomes Project by Genomics England. Looking for paternal ...

When people inherited mixed mitochondria, it began to make the inheritance pattern more complex. Some men started out with mixed mtDNA, and passed that jumble onto offspring who also inherited mtDNA ...

Plot twist: Mitochondrial DNA can come from both parents Study confirms rare paternal mitochondrial transmission in three families.

However, paternal mtDNA inheritance may go unrecognized in cases with sporadic, single, large-scale deletions, because mitochondrial haplotypes are rarely investigated in diagnostic analyses.

In September 6 Nature, Sofia Berlin and Hans Ellegren from Uppsala University, Sweden, examine the controversial clonal inheritance theory for vertebrate mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) by following ...
