Population genetics and medical sciences resources can be found in the Human Mitochondrial Genome Database

Ezra Paul

A small number of peptides essential for cellular energy production are encoded by the mitochondrial genome, which is found in the subcellular mitochondrial network. The cataloguing of existing variation is of importance to medical researchers working to identify mutations causing mitochondrial malfunction as well as population genetics studies because mitochondrial genes are highly polymorphic.
