In work published in PLoS Computational Biology this week, scientists have created a catalog of clinical phenotypic features of 174 disease genes in human mitochondria. Their calculations showed that genes sharing more similar phenotypes have a stronger tendency for functional interactions, and they predict 168 high-probability disease candidates.
