Plastids and mitochondria are the only organelles that possess genomes of endosymbiotic
origin. In recent decades, advances in sequencing technologies have contributed to a …

Mitochondria are cellular organelles responsible for generation of chemical energy in the
process called oxidative phosphorylation. They originate from a bacterial ancestor and …

Eukaryotic cells must accurately monitor the integrity of the mitochondrial network to
overcome environmental insults and respond to physiological cues. The mitochondrial …

Throughout the animal kingdom, mitochondria are the only organelles that retain their own
genome and the transcription and translation machineries that are all essential for energy …

Since the endosymbiont origin from α‐Proteobacteria, mitochondrial genomes have
undergone extremely divergent evolutionary trajectories among eukaryotic lineages …

Oxidative phosphorylation, essential for energy metabolism and linked to the regulation of
longevity, involves mitochondrial and nuclear genes. The functions of these genes and their …

Background Mitochondria are organelles within eukaryotic cells that are central to the
metabolic processes of cellular respiration and ATP production. However, the evolution of …

Most heritable information in eukaryotic cells is encoded in the nuclear genome, with
inheritance patterns following classic Mendelian segregation. Genomes residing in the …

Behavioral genetics and cultural evolution have both revolutionized our understanding of
human behavior–largely independent of each other. Here, we reconcile these two fields …

Mitochondria were described as early as 1890 as ubiquitous intracellular structures by
Ernster and Schatz (1981)[1]. Since then, the accretion of knowledge in the past century has …
