Doubly uniparental inheritance (DUI) of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) represents a rare and intriguing deviation from the standard model of strictly maternal inheritance. In bivalves, DUI manifests as the ...

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

Eukaryotic cells have many specialized complexes and organelles that perform crucial functions. Mitochondria are well known organelles that are critical energy generators, often called the powerhouses ...

Researchers have discovered a mechanism in DNA that regulates how disease-causing mutations are inherited. The team identified two enzymes that regulate a chemical modification, 6mA, in mitochondrial ...

Almost every type of human cell is powered by mitochondria, bean-shaped organelles that use oxygen to synthesize usable energy.* These structures evolved billions of years ago from free-swimming ...

We studied the phylogeography and population history of the white wagtail Motacilla alba, which has a vast breeding range, covering areas with different Pleistocene climatic histories. The ...

In a groundbreaking UK first, eight healthy babies have been born using an IVF technique that includes DNA from three people—two parents and a female donor. The process, known as pronuclear transfer, ...

Eight healthy babies have been born in the U.K. using a new IVF technique that successfully reduced their risk of inheriting genetic diseases from their mothers, the people behind a world-first trial ...

University of Queensland researchers have discovered a mechanism in DNA that regulates how disease-causing mutations are inherited. Dr. Anne Hahn and Associate Professor Steven Zuryn from UQ's ...

NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE, England (WKRC) - A new In vitro fertilization (IVF) technique using DNA from three parties helped eight children avoid inheriting an incurable disease. According to the Cleveland ...
