- Junkyarddawg, on 11/05/2009, -0/+2I assume they mean mitochondrial DNA.
Mitochondria are symbiotic bacteria living inside every vertebrate cell, where they function as power generators for the cell. They are inherited from the mother via the egg.
And they have tiny genomes, just some 16000 basepairs instead of the many billion basepairs of the nuclear genome.
Sequencing 10000 mitochondrial genomes is nice, but it is almost completely useless if someone in the far future wants to revive a lost species through cloning. - TobiasParker, on 11/05/2009, -0/+2Encyclopod's are among us, everyone get your Tin Foil Hats.
