Sequence analysis was used to define the repeat unit that constitutes the mitochondrial genome of a petite (rho-) mutant of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This mutant has retained and amplified in tandem a 2,547 bp segment encompassing the second exon of the oxi3 gene excised from wild-type mtD

✦ Synopsis
The nucleotide sequence of the repeat unit of the mitochondrial genome of a spontaneous petite mutant of S. cerevisiae is reported. The sequence provides direct information on the AT-spacers and GC-clusters of the mitochondrial genome of yeast.

The complete nucleotide sequence of the mitochondrial genome of the domestic dog, Canis familiaris, was determined. The length of the sequence was 16,728 bp; however, the length was not absolute due to the variation (heteroplasmy) caused by differing numbers of the repetitive motif, 5'-GTACACGT(A/G)
We have reinvestigated the linkage orientation of repeating units in mtDNAs of yeast p-petite mutants containing an inverted duplication. All five petite mtDNAs studied contain a continuous segment of wild-type mONA, part of which is duplicated and present in inverted form in the repeat. We show by
As part of our genetic and molecular analysis of mutants of Saccharomyces cerevisiae affected in the oli1 gene (coding for mitochondrial ATPase subunit 9) we have determined the complete nucleotide sequence of the mtDNA genome of a petite (23-3) carrying this gene. Petite 23-3 (1,355 base pairs) ret
