Definition of mtDNA haplogroups

[edit]

What is the definition of each of the mtDNA haplogroups? I.e. by which mutation it characterized? --Maruvkay

Check the phylogeny in image 1 of A. González et al. The mitochondrial lineage U8a reveals a Paleolithic settlement in the Basque country. BMC Genomics, 2006.
I am now going to edite the article (totally obsolete) to fit with more recent research like that. --Sugaar

Propose to delete map image.

[edit]

It is surely inaccurate, as different clades of U (or UK if you wish) seem to have arrived to Europe in different moments and there is also an important subclade (at least) that is typically South Asian (U2). The spread of U seems to have branched out from West or South Asia and not as it appears in that map, from Ukraine or Central Europe. While U5 and U8a are definitively very old in Europe (Aurignacian?), others, including K maybe, are more recent.

(For references supporting this rationale check the references in the article:

--Sugaar (talk) 16:24, 5 March 2008 (UTC) Is there seriously no way to ease into the chart of subclades, at all? The disparity between these only 2 sections is something of a feat, but not the kind hoped for in the context of an encyclopedia. That same disparity in specificity, however, did amount to the most amusing stop on my day. And the least helpful thing I've read ever in my life of all time —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.69.190.75 (talk) 07:25, 6 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

The link to the mtDNA Haplogroup K Project was removed in April. Several other mtDNA haplogroup pages still have links to project websites. I would reinstate the link, but that might be a conflict of interest. Perhaps someone else could add the link. Exwcap (talk) 05:35, 10 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I reinstated the external link myself. Such links commonly appear on haplogroup pages. Exwcap (talk) 17:41, 10 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Subclades found or not found

[edit]

I'll remove: seldom found in non-Jewish persons. There is nothing in source. NPOV ?? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.229.148.118 (talk) 12:25, 31 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Why are you removing my edits? It is good edits with important information! There is something rotten in the kingdom of Denmark! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.226.72.14 (talk) 05:01, 1 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. What's "rotten" is that you're a banned editor. Please stop editing. Jayjg (talk) 11:44, 1 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
