Characterization of Large-Scale Mitochondrial DNA Rearrangements Using Complementary Short- and Long-Read Sequencing Approaches

Background: Large-scale mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) rearrangement, including deletion or duplication, is one of the important causes of primary mitochondrial disease. In clinical practice, short-read sequencing (SRS)-based assays typically detect these rearrangements by identifying regional mtDNA copy-number changes but...
