Burr and Auckland et. al develop MitoPerturb-Seq, which combines single-cell screening with multiomics to link nuclear genes to mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) dynamics. They unveil core regulators of mtDNA copy number and characterize cell-cycle delays and transcriptional stress in response to mtDNA depletion.
