Abstract

MitoMorphy uses a number of publicly available human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequences from different ethnic groups to compare and annotate the associated polymorphic data. It provides an integrated display of mtDNA sequence comparison, sequence variation, and annotation for 695 different mtDNA sequences from many different ethnic groups around the world.
