The cytoplasmic hybrid (cybrid) technique allows investigators to express selected mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequences against fixed nuclear DNA (nDNA) backgrounds. Cybrids have been used to study the effects of known mtDNA mutations on mitochondrial biochemistry, mtDNA-nDNA inter-species compatibility, and mtDNA integrity in persons without mtDNA mutations defined previously. This review discusses events leading up to creation of the cybrid technique, as well as data obtained via application of the cybrid strategies listed above. Although interpreting cybrid data requires awareness of technique limitations, valuable insights into mtDNA genotype-functional phenotype relationships are suggested.
