Single, Rapid Coastal Settlement of Asia Revealed by Analysis of Complete Mitochondrial Genomes
- V. Macaulay, C. Hill, +18 authors M. Richards
- Biology, Medicine
- Science
- 13 May 2005
A recent dispersal of modern humans out of Africa is now widely accepted, but the routes taken across Eurasia are still disputed. We show that mitochondrial DNA variation in isolated “relict”… Expand
Harvesting the fruit of the human mtDNA tree.

- 1 June 2006
Human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) studies have entered a new phase since the blossoming of complete genome analyses. Sequencing complete mtDNAs is more expensive and more labour intensive than… Expand
The molecular dissection of mtDNA haplogroup H confirms that the Franco-Cantabrian glacial refuge was a major source for the European gene pool.
- A. Achilli, C. Rengo, +18 authors A. Torroni
- Biology, Medicine
- American journal of human genetics
- 1 November 2004
Complete sequencing of 62 mitochondrial DNAs (mtDNAs) belonging (or very closely related) to haplogroup H revealed that this mtDNA haplogroup--by far the most common in Europe--is subdivided into… Expand
The mtDNA Legacy of the Levantine Early Upper Palaeolithic in Africa

- 15 December 2006
Sequencing of 81 entire human mitochondrial DNAs (mtDNAs) belonging to haplogroups M1 and U6 reveals that these predominantly North African clades arose in southwestern Asia and moved together to… Expand
Updating the East Asian mtDNA phylogeny: a prerequisite for the identification of pathogenic mutations.
- Qingpeng Kong, H. Bandelt, +9 authors Y. Zhang

- Human molecular genetics
- 1 July 2006
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 performing reliable… Expand
The Archaeogenetics of Europe
- P. Soares, A. Achilli, +5 authors M. Richards
- Medicine, Biology
- Current Biology
- 23 February 2010
A new timescale has recently been established for human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) lineages, making mtDNA at present the most informative genetic marker system for studying European prehistory. Here,… Expand
The Phylogeny of the Four Pan-American MtDNA Haplogroups: Implications for Evolutionary and Disease Studies
- A. Achilli, U. Perego, +6 authors H. Bandelt
- Biology, Medicine
- PloS one
- 12 March 2008
Only a limited number of complete mitochondrial genome sequences belonging to Native American haplogroups were available until recently, which left America as the continent with the least amount of… Expand
Phylogeography of Y-chromosome haplogroup I reveals distinct domains of prehistoric gene flow in europe.
- S. Rootsi, C. Magri, +42 authors O. Semino
- Medicine, Biology
- American journal of human genetics
- 1 July 2004
To investigate which aspects of contemporary human Y-chromosome variation in Europe are characteristic of primary colonization, late-glacial expansions from refuge areas, Neolithic dispersals, or… Expand
Distinctive Paleo-Indian Migration Routes from Beringia Marked by Two Rare mtDNA Haplogroups
- U. Perego, A. Achilli, +13 authors A. Torroni
- Biology, Medicine
- Current Biology
- 13 January 2009
BACKGROUND
It is widely accepted that the ancestors of Native Americans arrived in the New World via Beringia approximately 10 to 30 thousand years ago (kya). However, the arrival time(s), number of… Expand
Mitochondrial genomes from modern horses reveal the major haplogroups that underwent domestication
- A. Achilli, A. Olivieri, +19 authors A. Torroni
- Medicine, Biology
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
- 30 January 2012
Archaeological and genetic evidence concerning the time and mode of wild horse (Equus ferus) domestication is still debated. High levels of genetic diversity in horse mtDNA have been detected when… Expand
