Reconstructing the evolutionary history of China: a caveat about inferences drawn from ancient DNA.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Feb 2003

Abstract excerpt

The decipherment of the meager information provided by short fragments of ancient mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is notoriously difficult but is regarded as a most promising way toward reconstructing the past from the genetic perspective. By haplogroup-specific hypervariable segment (HVS) motif search and matching or near-matching with available modern data sets, most of the ancient mtDNAs can be tentatively assigned...
