MtDNA Mutation Detection

I am a CSE student doesn't know much about bioinfomatics but i am trying to make a mtdna mutation detection project can anyone help me with any idea how to do that???

gene

Start by reading the literature involving detection of mitochondrial variants.

See these papers:

Mitochondria sequence mapping strategies and practicability of mitochondria variant detection from exome and RNA sequencing data

http://sci-hub.cc/10.1093/bib/bbv057#

Performance of mitochondrial DNA mutations detecting early stage cancer

http://bmccancer.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1471-2407-8-285

Accurate mitochondrial DNA sequencing using off-target reads provides a single test to identify pathogenic point mutations

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4272251/

But:

Mitochondrial DNA exhibits resistance to induced point and deletion mutations.

where can i get the mutated and non mutated dataset of mtdna ?? if you know other then ncbi there because mutated dataset is not available there
