Mitochondrial DNA Sequencing and Diversity

Preprints in Motion

This week we discuss mitochondrial DNA and its importance in aging with Amy Vandiver (@AmyVandiver2). We also highlight a new method to quickly sequence full length mitochondrial DNA allowing for mitochondrial genome comparisons and the understanding of the diversity between mitochondrial DNA. As usual we also discuss the process of pre-printing, preLights and how they can generate collaborations. As well as understanding more about the MD PhD group leader route.
