Nucleotide pools dictate the identity and frequency of ribonucleotide incorporation in mitochondrial DNA.

Previous work has demonstrated the presence of ribonucleotides in human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and in the present study we use a genome-wide approach to precisely map the location of these. We find that ribonucleotides are distributed evenly between the heavy- and light-strand of mtDNA. The relat...
