WGS for mtDNA variation

Question

[waqasnayab]

Hi,

Dear Community,

Could we use whole genome sequencing (WGS) data to detect / identify mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) variation?

Thanks,

Waqas.

This is not exactly a bio-informatics question, but whole genome sequencing sequences all DNA present in a cell and therefore also mitochondrial DNA.
