The arrows indicate the median of Ct-values for either mtDNA (mt; in green) or nuclear DNA (nc; in purple). The right panel is the box-plot representing the distribution Ct-values by primer pairs either specific to mtDNA (in green) or nuclear DNA (in purple): the minimal (left-end bar), the first quantile (left side of the box), median (central think bar), the third quantile (right side of the box), and the maximal (right-end bar). The copy number of nuclear DNA in various strains is set to 1 as reference for the copy number of mtDNA. The assays were carried out using total DNA samples extracted from wild type (A), (B), (C), and (D) cells as indicated
