Mitochondrial DNA Concordance
Table of Contents

2 January 2006: Please note that this Concordance is now out of date. No new sequences are being added to it. It is replaced by the database described in   The mtDNA Population Database: An Integrated Software and Database Resource for Forensic Comparison   at http://www.fbi.gov/hq/lab/fsc/backissu/april2002/miller1.htm All enquiries should be directed to the FBI or to Dr John Dawson, JLD1@cam.ac.uk.

Disclaimer

The Concordance of Nucleotide Substitutions in the Human mtDNA Control Region is compiled from nucleotide sequence data available in the public domain or supplied by accredited forensic laboratories world-wide. Every attempt has been made by the editors to ensure the accuracy of the data provided herein.

However, many inaccuracies and inconsistencies exist in the literature reporting population-based variation in the human mtDNA control region. It is possible that errors still remain (see Errata and Changes).

The editors do not accept responsibility or legal liability for the accuracy of reported nucleotide sequences. If errors in the Concordance are observed, we would appreciate your bringing them to our attention for correction in a subsequent version.

We apologise for the size of some of the Concordance files; splitting them up still further would only have made them less useful. Because of the layout and colours needed to display the Concordance, these pages need to be viewed with up-to-date browsers such as Netscape Navigator™ or Internet Explorer™. Such browsers are readily available (often free of charge). For most efficient display, your browser window should be made as wide as possible. To save space, some information is abbreviated in the output. See abbreviations.
