The eight SNP arrays that are compared based on their ability to assign African haplogroups are listed. The version of the SNP array that was used and the number of mitochondrial SNPs are listed for each SNP array. A (^a) indicates that this is currently the latest version of the SNP panel. All SNP arrays used the hg19/37 reference genome to refer to SNP positions. The SNP arrays are numbered, and these numbers are used to reference to them in the text
