Two decades later there is enough evidence to challenge these assumptions. In this talk I will present data, which show that both the maternal inheritance and the non-recombination of mtDNA might not be as strict as was previously believed. I will also suggest a hypothesis which couples maternal inheritance of mtDNA with heteroplasmy and recombination.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"kent-social-links\"><li><a href='http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/biosciences\/2014\/10\/16\/research-seminar-challenging-clonal-uniparental-inheritance-of-animal-mtdna\/&amp;t=Research Seminar: Challenging clonal, uniparental inheritance of animal mtDNA.' target='_blank'><i class='ksocial-facebook' title='Share via Facebook'><\/i><\/a><\/li><li><a href='http:\/\/twitter.com\/home?status=Research Seminar: Challenging clonal, uniparental inheritance of animal mtDNA.%20https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/biosciences\/2014\/10\/16\/research-seminar-challenging-clonal-uniparental-inheritance-of-animal-mtdna\/' target='_blank'><i class='ksocial-twitter' title='Share via Twitter'><\/i><\/a><\/li><li><a href='https:\/\/plus.google.com\/share?url=https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/biosciences\/2014\/10\/16\/research-seminar-challenging-clonal-uniparental-inheritance-of-animal-mtdna\/' target='_blank'><i class='ksocial-google-plus' title='Share via Google Plus'><\/i><\/a><\/li><li><a href='http:\/\/linkedin.com\/shareArticle?mini=true&amp;url=https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/biosciences\/2014\/10\/16\/research-seminar-challenging-clonal-uniparental-inheritance-of-animal-mtdna\/&amp;title=Research Seminar: Challenging clonal, uniparental inheritance of animal mtDNA.' target='_blank'><i class='ksocial-linkedin' title='Share via Linked In'><\/i><\/a><\/li><li><a href='mailto:content=https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/biosciences\/2014\/10\/16\/research-seminar-challenging-clonal-uniparental-inheritance-of-animal-mtdna\/&amp;title=Research Seminar: Challenging clonal, uniparental inheritance of animal mtDNA.' target='_blank'><i class='ksocial-email' title='Share via Email'><\/i><\/a><\/li><\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Emmanuel (Manolis) Ladoukasis Department of Biology, University of Crete Wednesday 22nd October, 4.00 p.m., Stacey Lecture Theatre 1 During \u201990s animal mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/biosciences\/2014\/10\/16\/research-seminar-challenging-clonal-uniparental-inheritance-of-animal-mtdna\/\">Read&nbsp;more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":32117,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[50580],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/biosciences\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/738"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/biosciences\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/biosciences\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/biosciences\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/32117"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/biosciences\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=738"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/biosciences\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/738\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":739,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/biosciences\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/738\/revisions\/739"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/biosciences\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=738"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/biosciences\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=738"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/biosciences\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=738"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
