The model can be told to create synthetic fragments of DNA with custom criteria, for example, "switch this gene on in stem cells which will turn into red-blood-cells but not platelets." ...

Some of these conditions result from mutations in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), the genetic material ... both normal and mutated mtDNA within their cells. This condition, known as heteroplasmy ...
