New population and phylogenetic features of the internal variation within mitochondrial DNA macro-haplogroup R0.
<h4>Background</h4>R0 embraces the most common mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) lineage in West Eurasia, namely, haplogroup H (approximately 40%). R0 sub-lineages are badly defined in the control region and therefore, the analysis of diagnostic coding region polymorphisms is needed in order to...
