Abstract:
Mitochondria possess a small set of genes that are essential for respiratory function. This review highlights recent advances in our understanding of mitochondrial gene organization and expression. These studies illustrate a remarkable diversity among eukaryotic lineages and an impressive complexity of events needed to achieve nuclear-mitochondrial harmony.
