The multi-tissue landscape of somatic mtDNA mutations indicates tissue-specific accumulation and removal in aging
Accumulation of somatic mutations in the mitochondrial genome (mtDNA) has long been proposed as a possible mechanism of mitochondrial and tissue dysfunction that occurs during aging. A thorough characterization of age-associated mtDNA somatic mutations has been hampered by the limited ability to det...
