Sequence and organization of the human mitochondrial genome
@article{Anderson1981SequenceAO, title={Sequence and organization of the human mitochondrial genome}, author={S. Anderson and A. Bankier and B. Barrell and M. H. D. Bruijn and A. Coulson and J. Drouin and I. Eperon and D. Nierlich and B. Roe and F. Sanger and P. Schreier and A. Smith and R. Staden and I. Young}, journal={Nature}, year={1981}, volume={290}, pages={457-465} }
The complete sequence of the 16,569-base pair human mitochondrial genome is presented. The genes for the 12S and 16S rRNAs, 22 tRNAs, cytochrome c oxidase subunits I, II and III, ATPase subunit 6, cytochrome b and eight other predicted protein coding genes have been located. The sequence shows extreme economy in that the genes have none or only a few noncoding bases between them, and in many cases the termination codons are not coded in the DNA but are created post-transcriptionally by… CONTINUE READING
