Mitochondrial Genome Journals

In contrast to the human nuclear genome, which consists of 3.3 billion base pairs of DNA, the human mitochondrial genome is built of a mere 16,569 base pairs. Despite its small size, the mitochondrial genome can be used to establish maternal family ties, thanks to its maternal pattern of inheritance. Plants possess mitochondrial genomes that are large and complex compared to animals. Furthermore, plant mtDNA does not exist as large circular DNA molecules but mostly as a collection of linear DNA with combinations of smaller circular and branched molecules. There are six main genome types found in mitochondrial genomes, classified by their structure (e.g. circular versus linear), size, presence of introns or plasmid like structures, and whether the genetic material is a singular molecule or collection of homogeneous or heterogeneous molecules.
