Consistent treatment of length variants in the human mtDNA control region: a reappraisal.

Abstract excerpt

In forensic science, as well as in molecular anthropology and medical genetics, human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) variation is being recorded by aligning mtDNA sequences to the revised Cambridge reference sequence (rCRS). This task is straightforward for the vast majority of nucleotide positions but appears to be difficult for some short sequence stretches, namely, in regions displaying length variation. Earlier...
