Compilation of somatic mutations of the complete mitochondrial genome. Bottom line: functional regions; grey protein coding; black RNA coding (tRNA names are not shown). Mutated positions: o – detected in the present study. x – reported in selected literature. The upper three graphs display the number of mutations per 500 bp section of the mitochondrial genome subdivided by tumour type: ADC (adenocarcinoma, full line; combination of our data and published data); SQCC (squamous cell carcinoma, dashed line; published data); LC (all lung cancer samples of the selective literature).
