mtDNAhum: Human Mitochondrial DNA

Description

The complete sequence of the human mitochondrial genome contains 16569 base pair. The sequence presents extreme economy in that the genes have none or only a few noncoding bases between them, and in many cases the termination codons are not coded in the DNA but are created post-transcriptionally by polyadenylation of the mRNAs. The genes for the 12S and 16S rRNAs, 22tRNAs, cytochrome c oxidase subunits I, II, and III, ATPase subunit 6, cytochrome b and eight other predicted protein coding genes have been located.
