Abstract
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is inherited almost exclusively from the maternal lineage. Paternal destruction of either mtDNA or whole mitochondria has been the dominant model for mtDNA transmission. Recently, Lee et al. provided evidence for mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM) import sequence regulation as a potential cause for mtDNA depletion in human sperm before fertilization.
