Phylogenetic network of the mtDNA haplogroup U in Northern Finland based on sequence analysis of the complete coding region by conformation-sensitive gel electrophoresis.

Abstract excerpt

Mutations in mtDNA have accumulated sequentially, and maternal lineages have diverged to form population-specific genotypes. Classification of the genotypes has been made based on differences found in restriction fragment analysis of the coding region or in the sequence of the hypervariable segment I. Both methods have shortcomings, as the former may not detect all the important polymorphisms and the latter makes...
