| Abstract |
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is more vulnerable to mutations and associated with many solid tumors. Through mtDNA sequencing, we can find useful information on the mutations implicated in diseases and can better define the impact of mitochondrial dysfunction on the process of carcinogenesis. In current article, we will discuss the current approaches of mtDNA sequencing and the challenges we should overcome, their applications in various cancers, and the potential bioethics problems we should face in the application of mtDNA sequencing in clinical diagnosis and treatment. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 13 June 2018.
All research outputs
#15,484,498
of 23,009,818 outputs
Outputs from Advances in experimental medicine and biology
#2,515
of 4,961 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#257,369
of 421,290 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Advances in experimental medicine and biology
#235
of 490 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,009,818 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,961 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.1. This one is in the 37th percentile – i.e., 37% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 421,290 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 30th percentile – i.e., 30% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 490 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 36th percentile – i.e., 36% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
