Mitotree: The Universal Human Mitochondrial Reference Phylogeny at 10× the Resolution

2026-05-29

Abstract excerpt

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is the oldest and most prevalent source of human molecular phylogenetic reconstruction. Everyone alive today traces their matrilines to one female African ancestor who lived some 145 thousand years ago. For decades, PhyloTree provided researchers with a moderately sized reference tree (v17: n=24,275 sequences, n=5,438 branches). However, hundreds of thousands of sequences are available to...
