Mitochondrial DNA can be subdivided into various classes—termed haplogroups—on the basis of its pattern of single nucleotide polymorphisms. Several small, and as yet unreplicated, studies have ...

Purpose It has been hypothesised that certain mitochondrial haplogroups, which are defined by the presence of a characteristic cluster of tightly linked mitochondrial DNA polymorphisms, would be ...

Haploid markers from mitochondrial DNA and the Y chromosome have proven invaluable for generating a standard model for evolution of modern humans. Conclusions from earlier research on protein ...

The research team extracted mitochondrial DNA from the human remains newly unearthed ... The individuals belonged to ...

Researchers have observed this process, called numtogenesis, in human cancer cells and reproductive ... The researchers quantified the number of mitochondrial DNA insertions in tissue across ...

thereby affecting the kinds of mutations that can be detected in live-born humans. The most likely mechanism is germline ...
