Article Synopsis
- The mutational patterns of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) are distinct from those of nuclear DNA, and variations across different species remain poorly understood.
- The study examines mtDNA mutations in relation to species age and generation length, discovering that species with longer generation times have a higher frequency of specific mutations (AH > GH).
- Researchers suggest that these mutations reflect oxidative damage linked to aging and the duration of mtDNA being single-stranded during replication.
