Oxygen tension modulates the mitochondrial genetic bottleneck and influences the segregation of a heteroplasmic mtDNA variant in vitro

Using an in vitro culture system, Pezet et al. studied the influence of oxygen on the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) in primordial germ cell-like cells (PGCLCs) in vitro. Low oxygen levels resembling in vivo reduced the cell mtDNA content causing a genetic bottleneck and the segregation of different mtDN...
