Role of Direct Repeat and Stem-Loop Motifs in mtDNA Deletions: Cause or Coincidence?
Deletion mutations within mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) have been implicated in degenerative and aging related conditions, such as sarcopenia and neuro-degeneration. While the precise molecular mechanism of deletion formation in mtDNA is still not completely understood, genome motifs such as direct repe...
