In cells I would say Halo-GFP-Su9 as its pulse-chaseable so gives more precise quantification compared to Keima. In mice still MitoQC. In humans nothing to my knowledge.

How can mitophagy be an effective quality control mechanism if mtDNA mutations reach high enough levels to cause disease?

This question led us into a dark path, full of concepts of evolutionary genetics, germline stem cell biology and mito-nuclear compatibility.
