Abstract
Since the discovery that mitochondria contain DNA a considerable amount of effort has been directed towards the analysis of mitochondrial DNA (mt DNA) and its gene products. The majority of the work has been carried out with the yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae. although there have been important contributions from those working with Neurospora and mimal cells (see Borst and Grivell, 1978, and articles in Bandlow et al, 1977). The successful application of mutant and recombinant analysis, coupled with physical techniques including the use of restriction enzymes, has allowed the identification and mapping of many of the genes located on yeast mtDNA (Borst and Grivell, 1978; Schweyen et al, 1978, Butow and Strausberg, 1979).
