Understanding 6mA Methylation in Mitochondria

Latana Grub from Vanderbilt University spoke at the Nanopore Community Meeting in Boston. The session was titled “Long-read sequencing reveals the molecular landscape of mitochondrial DNA 6mA methylation.” Grub studies mitochondria. They noted that mitochondria are important organelles with their own genome and are critical for energy. Mitochondrial DNA has only one regulatory system. Grub […]
