AbstractThe integrity of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) isolated from solid tissues is critical for analyses such as long-range PCR. We show that a commonly-used DNA isolation procedure preferentially introduces strand breaks into the mtDNA extracted from the skeletal muscle of aged mice, while mtDNA from adult animals is less affected. We present a comparison of mtDNA isolation methods and identify one that avoids this biased loss of muscle mtDNA integrity. Our results highlight the importance of a careful choice of mtDNA isolation method and serve as a resource to researchers planning analysis of mtDNA isolated from solid tissues.
