Refining allotopic expression of mitochondrial genes
Researchers at SENS Research Foundation including Matthew O’Connor, Amutha boominathan and others have published a study that shows how codons are important in getting mitochondrial genes to be placed correctly in the nucleus of cells [1].
Possible solution for mitochondrial disease
It is believed that one in five thousand people suffer from mitochondrial disease. They are caused by mutations of genes that are involved in aerobic respiration. This is one of the primary functions of mitochondria.
