The role of climate in human mitochondrial DNA evolution: a reappraisal.

Genomics - 1 Mar 2007

Sun Chang, Kong Qing-Peng, Zhang Ya-Ping

Abstract excerpt

Previous studies have proposed that selection has been involved in the differentiation of human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and climate was the main driving force. This viewpoint, however, gets no support from the subsequent studies and remains controversial thus far. To clarify this issue, a total of 237 complete mtDNA sequences belonging to autochthonous lineages from South Asia, Oceania, and East Asia were...
