mitochondrial genetics - mtDNA - starter pack
I'm pretty sure that there are so many brilliant mitochondrial researcher already here with lots more to come - so I tried to prepare a list of people working on all kind of aspects of the mitochondrial genome in all kinds of areas (disease, cancer, ageing, therapy, evolution, forensics, ...)
