Abstract

Evidence for a biparental mode of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) inheritance has been sparse and remains controversial. Recent studies using a range of complementary techniques do not support paternal transmission of mtDNA and highlight the co-amplification of rare, concatenated nuclear mtDNA segments as a technical artefact that may explain previous observations.
