Single-molecule mitochondrial DNA imaging reveals heteroplasmy dynamics shaped by developmental bottlenecks and selection in different organs in vivo

Rajini Chandrasegaram, Sara Gottardo, Abhilesh S Dhawanjewar…·Jelle van den Ameele

The paper uses single-molecule FISH to study mtDNA heteroplasmy dynamics in Drosophila and human cells, revealing developmental bottlenecks and selection effects on mutation load.
