Mitochondrial DNA Part A

Mitochondrial DNA Part A publishes original high-quality manuscripts on physical, chemical, and biochemical aspects of mtDNA and proteins involved in mtDNA metabolism, and/or interactions. Manuscripts on cytosolic and extracellular mtDNA, and on dysfunction caused by alterations in mtDNA integrity as well as methodological papers detailing novel approaches for mtDNA manipulation in vitro and in vivo are welcome. Descriptive papers on DNA sequences from mitochondrial genomes, and also analytical papers in the areas of population genetics, phylogenetics and human evolution that use mitochondrial DNA as a source of evidence for studies will be considered for publication. The Journal also considers manuscripts that examine population genetic and systematic theory that specifically address the use of mitochondrial DNA sequences, as well as papers that discuss the utility of mitochondrial DNA information in medical studies and in human evolutionary biology.

线粒体DNA A部分出版关于线粒体DNA的物理、化学和生化方面的高质量原稿，以及参与线粒体DNA代谢和/或相互作用的蛋白质。欢迎提交有关细胞浆和细胞外mtDNA、mtDNA完整性改变引起的功能障碍的手稿，以及详细介绍在体内和体外操作mtDNA新方法的方法学论文。将考虑发表关于线粒体基因组DNA序列的描述性论文，以及使用线粒体DNA作为研究证据来源的人口遗传学、系统遗传学和人类进化领域的分析论文。该杂志还考虑了一些手稿，这些手稿检验了专门针对线粒体DNA序列使用的群体遗传学和系统理论，以及讨论线粒体DNA信息在医学研究和人类进化生物学中的应用的论文。
