Unreliable mtDNA data due to nuclear insertions: a cautionary tale from analysis of humans and other great apes.

Molecular ecology - 1 Feb 2004

Thalmann O, Hebler J, Poinar H N, Pääbo S, Vigilant L

Abstract excerpt

Analysis of mitochondrial DNA sequence variation has been used extensively to study the evolutionary relationships of individuals and populations, both within and across species. So ubiquitous and easily acquired are mtDNA data that it has been suggested that such data could serve as a taxonomic...
