Abstract To construct an East Asia mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) phylogeny, we sequenced
the complete mitochondrial genomes of 672 Japanese individuals (http://www. giib. or …

To characterize the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) variation in Han Chinese from several
provinces of China, we have sequenced the two hypervariable segments of the control …

Knowledge about the world phylogeny of human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is essential
not only for evaluating the pathogenic role of specific mtDNA mutations but also for …

We determine the phylogenetic backbone of the East Asian mtDNA tree by using published
complete mtDNA sequences and assessing both coding and control region variation in 69 …

Island Southeast Asia (ISEA) was first colonized by modern humans at least 45,000 years
ago, but the extent to which the modern inhabitants trace their ancestry to the first settlers is …

Genetic affinities between aboriginal Taiwanese and populations from Oceania and
Southeast Asia have previously been explored through analyses of mitochondrial DNA …

Studying the genetic history of the Orang Asli of Peninsular Malaysia can provide crucial
clues to the peopling of Southeast Asia as a whole. We have analyzed mitochondrial DNA …

Sequencing and documenting a sample of homologous DNA stretches is prone to copying
errors in a way rather analogous to the biological replication process. Previous attempts at …

The excavation of a frozen grave on the Kizil site (dated to be 2500 years old) in the Altai
Republic (Central Asia) revealed a skeleton belonging to the Scytho-Siberian population …

There are two very different interpretations of the prehistory of Island Southeast Asia (ISEA),
with genetic evidence invoked in support of both. The “out-of-Taiwan” model proposes a …
