Abstract excerpt
African mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplogroups are divided into seven macro-haplogroups (L0'1'2'3'4'5'6), while the rest of the world's lineages are classified as subgroups of macro-haplogroups M, N and R. The most common approach to characterizing mtDNA variation is the sequencing of hypervariable segments I and II of the non-coding control region of the molecule. Given the higher mutation rate within the control...
