Recombination or mutation rate heterogeneity? Implications for Mitochondrial Eve.

Trends in genetics : TIG - 1 Feb 2003

Hagelberg Erika

Abstract excerpt

The study of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) has helped to demonstrate the African origin of our species and the relationship between living humans and the Neanderthals. mtDNA data have also been used to establish the time and route of major events in human history, such as the expansion of Neolithic farmers into Europe, and the settlement of the Pacific and the New World. However, it is becoming apparent that mtDNA...
