Linkage disequilibrium and recombination in hominid mitochondrial DNA
journal contribution
posted on 2023-06-07, 23:15 authored by P Awadalla, Adam Eyre-WalkerAdam Eyre-Walker, J M SmithThe assumption that human mitochondrial DNA is inherited from one parent only and therefore does not recombine is questionable. Linkage disequilibrium in human and chimpanzee mitochondrial DNA declines as a function of the distance between sites. This pattern can be attributed to one mechanism only: recombination.
