Cambodia harbours a variety of human aboriginal populations that have scarcely been
studied in terms of genetic diversity of entire mitochondrial genomes. Here we present the …

Cambodia harbours a variety of aboriginal (and presumably ancient) populations that have
largely been ignored in studies of genetic diversity. Here we investigate the matrilineal gene …

Africa is the cradle of all human beings, and although it has been the focus of a number of
genetic studies, there are many questions that remain unresolved. We have performed one …

The evolutionary dynamics of mitochondrial DNA within the Thai population were
comprehensively explored with a specific focus on the influence of South Asian admixture. A …

Archaeological and genomic evidence suggest that modern Homo sapiens have roamed the
planet for some 300–500 thousand years. In contrast, global human mitochondrial (mtDNA) …

Abstract Background Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplotypes have become popular tools for
tracing maternal ancestry, and several companies offer this service to the general public …

West Africa is characterized by a migration history spanning more than 150,000 years.
Climate changes but also political circumstances were responsible for several early but also …

Objectives Through previous mitochondrial DNA studies, the Middle Eastern maternal
genetic contribution to Tunisian populations appears limited. In fact, most of the studied …

The use of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) continues to dominate studies of human genetic
variation and evolution. Recent work has re-affirmed the strict maternal inheritance of …

Abstract Analysis of human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) variation plays an important role in
forensic genetic investigations, especially in degraded biological samples and hair shafts …
