Title
Linkage disequilibrium and recombination in hominid mitochondrial DNA.
Authors
Awadalla, P; Eyre-Walker, A; Smith, J M
Abstract
The 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.
