Abstract

Heterogeneity in mitochondrial DNA With the help of massively parallel sequencing-by-synthesis of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) genomes, He et al. uncover widespread heterogeneity (heteroplasmy) in the mtDNA of normal human cells and homoplasmic and heteroplasmic mutations in cancer cells. The frequency of heteroplasmy is shown to vary among tissues of the same individual. Together, these findings provide new insights into the nature and variability of mtDNA sequences and have implications for cancer biomarker development and forensic analysis.
