The performance of common SNP arrays in assigning African mitochondrial haplogroups.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Mitochondrial haplogroup assignment is an important tool for forensics and evolutionary genetics. African populations are known to display a high diversity of mitochondrial haplogroups. In this research we explored mitochondrial haplogroup assignment in African populations using commonly used genome-wide SNP arrays. RESULTS: We show that, from eight commonly used SNP arrays, two SNP arrays outperform...
