Background For the past few years, scientific controversy has surrounded the large number
of errors in forensic and literature mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) data. However, recent …

Several suggestions have been made for avoiding errors in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA)
sequencing and documentation. Unfortunately, the current clinical, forensic, and population …

There is increasing evidence that many of the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) databases
published in the fields of forensic science and molecular anthropology are flawed. An a …

Mitochondrial DNA databases stand as the basis for frequency estimations of mtDNA
sequences that became relevant in a case. The establishment of mtDNA databases sounds …

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) variation is being reported relative to the corrected version of
the first sequenced human mitochondrial genome. A review of the existing literature across …

The feasibility of generating mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) data has expanded considerably
with the advent of next-generation sequencing (NGS), specifically in the generation of entire …

We have developed a computer system, MITOMASTER, to make analysis of human
mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequences efficient, accurate, and easily available. From …

An ongoing source of controversy in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) research is based on the
detection of numerous errors in mtDNA profiles that led to erroneous conclusions and false …

Mitochondrial DNA (mt DNA) is a valuable tool in the fields of forensic, population, and
medical genetics. However, recording and comparing mt DNA control region or entire …

The generation, manipulation, and analysis of mtDNA sequence data is inherently complex,
particularly with challenging forensic samples that often need to be amplified in separate …
