Trial and error: how the unclonable human mitochondrial genome was cloned in yeast.
2011
Purpose Development of a human mitochondrial
gene deliveryvector is a critical step in the ability to treat diseases arising from mutations in
mitochondrial DNA. Although we have previously cloned the mouse mitochondrial genome in its entirety and developed it as a mitochondrial gene therapy vector, the human mitochondrial genome has been dubbed unclonable in E. coli, due to regions of instability in the
D-loopand tRNAThr gene.
