  2. Human mitochondrial genetics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_mitochondrial_genetics

    Mitochondrial replication is controlled by nuclear genes and is specifically suited to make as many mitochondria as that particular cell needs at the time. Mitochondrial transcription in humans is initiated from three promoters, H1, H2, and L (heavy strand 1, heavy strand 2, and light strand promoters). The H2 promoter transcribes almost the ...

  3. Genetic genealogy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_genealogy

    When two individuals have matching or near matching mitochondrial DNA, it can be inferred that they share a common maternal-line ancestor at some point in the "recent" past. [40] Care should be taken to avoid overstating the recency of a relationship however, as a mutation in the mitochondrial genome will only occur every 1000 to 3000 years on ...

  4. Mitochondrial DNA - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitochondrial_DNA

    Mitochondrial DNA is the small circular chromosome found inside mitochondria. These organelles, found in all eukaryotic cells, are the powerhouse of the cell. [1] The mitochondria, and thus mitochondrial DNA, are passed exclusively from mother to offspring through the egg cell.

  5. FamilyTreeDNA - Wikipedia

    The Genomics Research Center initially did testing for many of the same products that had been sold by DNA-Fingerprint. They began to offer individual and panels of Y-chromosome SNP tests using Sanger testing methods. They also offered the mtDNA full genome test and upgrades to it using the Sanger testing method. [citation needed]

  6. Genealogical DNA test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genealogical_DNA_test

    mtDNA looks at the mitochondria, which is passed down from mother to child. Thus, the mtDNA test can be taken by both males and females, and it explores one's direct maternal line. [1] Y-DNA and mtDNA cannot be used for ethnicity estimates, but can be used to find one's haplogroup, which is unevenly distributed geographically. [2]

  7. Haplogroup X (mtDNA) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haplogroup_X_(mtDNA)

    Haplogroup X is a human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplogroup. It is found in North America, Europe, Western Asia, North Africa, and the Horn of Africa. A mtDNA-based map of major human migrations. Haplogroup X diverged from haplogroup N roughly 30,000 years ago (just prior to or during the Last Glacial Maximum).

  8. Google Maps - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Maps

    Google Maps' location tracking is regarded by some as a threat to users' privacy, with Dylan Tweney of VentureBeat writing in August 2014 that "Google is probably logging your location, step by step, via Google Maps", and linked users to Google's location history map, which "lets you see the path you've traced for any given day that your ...

  9. Haplogroup T-M184 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haplogroup_T-M184

    Haplogroup T-M184, also known as Haplogroup T, is a human Y-chromosome DNA haplogroup.The unique-event polymorphism that defines this clade is the single-nucleotide polymorphism known as M184.
