Locations of primers within the C. elegans mtDNA sequence. A 9,000‐bp region (positions 1,800–10,800) within C. elegans mtDNA was scanned for mtDNA deletions using 236 distinct forward‐reverse primer pairs formed by 12 forward and 36 reverse primers. AT‐rich region and intergenic region positions were obtained from mtDNA sequence annotation (NCBI accession number: X54252.1)
