Extent of heterogeneity in mitochondrial DNA of sub-Saharan African populations.

Journal of forensic sciences - 1 Jul 1997

Melton T, Ginther C, Sensabaugh G, Soodyall H, Stoneking M

Abstract excerpt

Variation in the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) control region as detected by sequence-specific oligonucleotide (SSO) probes is described for 381 individuals from nine sub-Saharan African populations. Population diversity estimates for SSO types ranged from 0.23 to 0.97, while 102 SSO types were detected, none of these types was shared by more than four populations. Eighteen types occurred in > or = 10% of individuals...
