Abstract excerpt
The discrimination of recent mutational derivatives from ancestral variation is a critical antecedent to any effort which aims to identify the factors modulating the rates of origin and persistence of new mutants. We propose that newly arisen mtDNA variants, which we designate as terminal branch haplotypes (TBHs), can be recognized by joint sequencing and phylogenetic analysis. This study examined mtDNA diversity...
