Mitochondria are energy-producing organelles in cells and are the site of energy conversion within the cell. As semi-autonomous organelles, mitochondria have their own genetic material and genetic system. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) has a unique maternal inheritance pattern and high mutation frequency, so mitochondrial sequencing technology has important applications in plant and animal evolution research, population structure research, and plant and animal disease diagnosis.

CD Genomics provides high quality plant and animal mitochondrial sequencing services. Our plant and animal mitochondrial sequencing service has a strict experimental process from DNA extraction, sample quality control, library construction and up-sequencing, thus ensuring high accuracy of data. Our technical team has rich experience in plant and animal mitochondrial sequencing services and has completed mitochondrial sequencing services for many species.

Characteristics of the mitochondrial genome

• Small genome, relatively conserved, contains a large amount of nucleotide information.
• Widespread in eukaryotes, high mutation rate.
• Maternally inherited, controlled genetic drift, extensive gene flow, good security.

Mitochondrial sequencing service technical advantages

The use of NGS high-throughput technology for mitochondrial genome sequencing analysis greatly simplifies the technical process while shortening the project cycle, and is currently the most mainstream method for obtaining mitochondrial whole genome sequences.

Our mitochondrial sequencing can be applied to the following studies

• Species classification and evolution
• Genetic diversity
• Hybridization and species identification
• Species kinship classification
• Genealogical geography
• Phylogeny

Instructions for providing samples

Samples are wrapped in tin foil (or held in lyophilized tubes), rapidly snap frozen in liquid nitrogen, and transferred to -80°C refrigerators for freezing. Dry ice transport.
