Abstract

Discusses the use of phylogenetics for the identification of sequences in error in the Scientific Working Group on DNA Analysis Methods' mitochondrial DNA database. Suggestion that the majority of errors are due to human error and are transcriptional in nature; Need to evaluate evolutionary and anthropological data for confirming the relevance and representativeness of forensic databases.
