A ‘‘Copernican’’ Reassessment of the Human Mitochondrial DNA Tree from its Root

Doron M. Behar, Mannis van Oven, et. al., The American Journal of Human Genetics 90, 675–684, April 6, 2012 675,


Opinion D.K. from ISOGG forum (Message #27816), (I am agree with this opinion- SJP):

This is a landmark paper. mtDNA results will now be classified in a completely new way. Currently we are given our "differences" from the Revised Cambridge Reference Sequence which was the first mitochondrial genome to be sequenced. This sequence belongs to haplogroup H and is a very recent branch of the mtDNA tree.


The authors have now effectively reconstructed the mtDNA haplotype ... the common maternal ancestor of all humans, which they've called
the Reconstructed Sapiens Reference Sequence (RSRS).


Administrator of this Baltic Sea Project is intended to involve this new step of our knowledge to information about DNA Full Mitochondrial Sequence of the project participants'. Administrator will indicate when had occurred splitting the lines of evolution main groups of Project participants
