bullet point 1. Description of scMitoV
The current version of the scMitoV database includes 694 samples (509 disease and 185 normal samples) from 67 datasets, covering 17 human tissues and 37 primary diseases. These included 27 cancers, 4 neurodegenerative diseases, 3 metabolic diseases, and 3 autoimmune diseases. We identified disease-related mitochondrial variants by comparing the disease group and the normal group in different cell types for each disease. In addition, we described the characteristics of each disease's mtDNA mutation in several aspects. First, we systematically characterized the mutation frequencies at each genomic location in both disease and normal samples. We compared the proportion of mutation types in different cell types in the disease group. Additionally, we depicted the mutations in different cell types in both disease and normal samples. scMitoV will serve as a significant asset for disease research, providing insight into the complex molecular and cellular changes that characterize various diseases, and an important tool for finding potential mitochondrial biomarkers and drug targets.

bullet point 1.1 scRNA-seq data collection and processing
We collected 695 samples (510 disease and 185 normal samples) from 67 datasets, covering 28 human tissues and 39 primary diseases. These included 26 cancers, 4 neurodegenerative diseases, 4 metabolic diseases, and 1 autoimmune disease. Our analysis of scRNA-seq data involved rigorous preprocessing steps, including raw data cleaning, alignment with the mitochondrial genome, removal of nuclear genome interference, elimination of PCR duplicates from reads, and sequencing depth verification.

bullet point 1.2 Mitochondria DNA variants calling
The mitochondiral DNA variants were called by scCaller tool.

bullet point 1.3 Cell type annotation
Cell type annotation was performed by DISCOtoolkit.

bullet point 1.4 Chisq test for identifying disease-related mitochondrial variants
We identified important mitochondrial variants associated with the disease using the Chisq test and corrected them with the false discovery rate (FDR). The odds ratio was also calculated, which indicates the ratio of the proportion of this variant occurring in this cell type in the disease group to the proportion in the normal group. We identified significant disease-related variants between the disease and normal groups with an FDR of less than 0.05 and odds ratios greater than 1. Only variants present in at least 5 cells of at least one cell type for at least one disease are shown in this database.
