Mitochondrial-nuclear co-evolution and its effects on OXPHOS activity and regulation
Factors required for mitochondrial function are encoded both by the nuclear and
mitochondrial genomes. The order of magnitude higher mutation rate of animal …

Mito-nuclear co-evolution: the positive and negative sides of functional ancient mutations
Most cell functions are carried out by interacting factors, thus underlying the functional
importance of genetic interactions between genes, termed epistasis. Epistasis could be …
