Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to molecular biology, in particular to a primer pair set, a kit, an amplification method, a sequencing method and a mitochondrial DNA mutation detection method that can be used for the amplification of mitochondrial whole genome DNA. Background technique
[0002] The mitochondrial genome (mitochondrial DNA, mtDNA) is a closed double-stranded circular structure with a length of 16569 bp, which is divided into coding regions and non-coding regions. There are a total of 37 genes in the coding region, of which 22 encode transfer ribonucleic acid (tRNA), 2 encode ribosomal ribonucleic acid (12S and 16S rRNA), and 13 encode polypeptides. The mtDNA genes are closely arranged, and there are no introns between the sequences.
[0003] The molecular structure of mtDNA determines that it has the following unique genetic characteristics:
[0004] (1) High copy number. Generally speaking, there are only two copies of chromosomal DNA i...
