Here the authors describe high depth mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequence analysis of 146 human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) lines as well as single cell RNA-seq (scRNAseq) of hiPSCs undergoing differentiation from 125 donors; reporting mtDNA diversity and some variants favoured after reprogramming.
