The mitochondrial DNA makeup of Romanians: a forensic mtDNA control region database and phylogenetic characterization

Highlights • A high-quality mtDNA control region dataset from 407 Romanian samples were generated. • The Romanian gene pool is mainly composed of West Eurasian lineages. • The variations shows a high molecular diversity and low random match probability. • This dataset provides a useful forensic data...

Description
Summary:	Highlights • A high-quality mtDNA control region dataset from 407 Romanian samples were generated. • The Romanian gene pool is mainly composed of West Eurasian lineages. • The variations shows a high molecular diversity and low random match probability. • This dataset provides a useful forensic database in routine forensic mtDNA analysis.
