Our latest publication is now available online, and it’s open access. If you want to read more about the best methods for isolating high-integrity mtDNA from tissues, click here.
Read MorePaper accepted in Mitochondrion
Our manuscript “The integrity and assay performance of tissue mitochondrial DNA is considerably affected by choice of isolation method” has been accepted in Mitochondrion. We systematically compare mtDNA isolation methods and show that the highest integrity tissue mtDNA is achieved when isolating DNA from enriched/purified mitochondria. For a higher yield, an alternative is to pulverize
Read MorePostdoc fellowship available
We have an opening for a postdoc fellow! Join our team to work on aspects related to the maintenance of mtDNA stability and how mtDNA defects are signalled to the rest of the cell. A background and keen interest in aspects related to (mt)DNA metabolism are a strong merit. We are especially interested in highly-motivated
