Length heteroplasmy of sturgeon mitochondrial DNA: an illegitimate elongation model.
Open accessAbstract
Extensive length polymorphism and heteroplasmy (multiple forms within an individual) of the D-loop region are observed in mitochondrial DNA of the white sturgeon (Acipenser transmontanus). The nucleotide sequence of this region, for both a short and a long form, shows that the differences are due to variable numbers of a perfect 82-bp direct repeat. We propose a model for the replicative origin of length differences, involving a competitive equilibrium between the heavy strand and the D-loop strand. This model suggests that frequent misalignment in the repeat region prior to elongation, facilitated by a stable secondary structure in the displaced strand, can explain both the polymorphism and heteroplasmy in this species.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
