Popis:	Forty years ago, soon after yeast mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) was recognized, some animal versions of mtDNA were shown to comprise circular molecules. Supporting an idea that mitochondria had evolved from bacteria, this finding generated a dogmatic belief that yeast mtDNA was also circular, and the endless linear molecules actually observed in yeast were regarded as broken circles. This concept persisted for 30 years and has distorted our understanding of the true nature of the molecule.
