Abstract:Although replication of the mitochondrial DNA genome has been studied extensively in mammalian and yeast models, the mechanisms of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) replication in the widely‐used model organism Drosophila melanogaster remain largely unknown. We employ a comparative approach to analyze mtDNA replication intermediates using two‐dimensional neutral agarose gel electrophoresis (2DNAGE), and to visualize their architecture by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Our studies target the nuclear‐encoded re… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
