Fig. 2From: The performance of common SNP arrays in assigning African mitochondrial haplogroupsL0-L3 haplogroup assignment performance for eight different SNP arrays. The percentage of haplogroups that could be assigned compared to the full mitochondrial genome is shown for L0-L3. Only clades with a minimum bootstrapping value of 50 were used for the analysis. The different colours indicate the eight SNP arrays. When interested in a specific African haplogroup or a population carrying a specific haplogroup in high frequency, this SNP array analysis can guide researchers in assessing if mitochondrial haplogroup assignment using the particular SNP array will be informative. Up to four-digit haplogroups have been investigated (for example L0, L0d, L0d1). The numbers underneath each haplogroup indicate on how many sequences the analysis for that haplogroup is basedBack to article page
