Hi, I know this might come as a silly question, but is there a definite number of mitochondrial genes in human beings? I have a list of about 68 genes, but I'm sure there are more. Can someone please help me with it? How many genes in human are involved in mitochondrial functions or are related to mitochondria?
Thanks in advance!
You can find this information with a simple search.
First of all, sorry that my question isn't related to bioinformatics. Thanks for your quick response!
However, I only posted this question after in-depth search and realized the list of genes I have is not elaborate. According to wiki, human mitochondria has 37 genes, but there are many more genes which have an important role in mitochondrial metabolism. There could also be isoforms. Someone told me there are about 350 mitochondrial genes, but I couldn't find that many genes, nor could I find any papers which linked me to those genes.
Appreciate your thought on this! Thank you!

If that is the case this is not the right forum. Looks like you have already posted this question at Biology Exchange which would be a good forum.
