Fine-Tuning Phylogenetic Alignment and Haplogrouping of mtDNA Sequences

Arne Duer et al.

Summary: A new algorithm for alignment and haplogroup estimation of mitochondrial DNA sequences was proposed in this study, which led to a significant increase in haplogroup defining motifs for both full mitogenomes and the mtDNA control region. The algorithm has been implemented in the EMPOP mtDNA database and is freely accessible, benefiting various scientific disciplines such as medical, population and forensic genetics.
