Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is more vulnerable to mutations and associated with many solid tumors. Through mtDNA sequencing, we can find useful information on the mutations implicated in diseases and can better define the impact of mitochondrial dysfunction on the process of carcinogenesis. In current article, we will discuss the current approaches of mtDNA sequencing and the challenges we should overcome, their applications in various cancers, and the potential bioethics problems we should face in the application of mtDNA sequencing in clinical diagnosis and treatment.

We present a novel mitogenome assembly of the Redlip Shiner, , and assemblies for the Greenhead Shiner, (Cypriniformes: Leuciscidae). Both are charismatic minnows in the taxonomic group and are endemic to the eastern United States. The genome contains 16,711bp and 16,706bp each comprising a total of 13 protein coding genes, 22 tRNAs, two rRNAs, and a control region.

is a popular ornamental aquatic plant for aquarists, although only six species are found in China. Destruction of the natural habitats of for human activities has led to a decline in its numbers. In this report, we sequenced and annotated the chloroplast genome for the first time.

Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is a major health concern, which can be the sign of a latent mitochondrial disease. However, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) contribution is largely unexplored in SCD at population level. Recently, mtDNA variants have been associated with congenital cardiopathy and higher risk of ischemic heart disease, suggesting them as potential risk factors also in SCD.

Introduction: Mitochondria are essential organelles that provide energy for plants. They are semi-autonomous, maternally inherited, and closely linked to cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) in plants. , a widely used medicinal plant from the Caprifoliaceae family, is rich in chlorogenic acid (CGA) and its analogues, which are known for their antiviral and anticancer properties.
