This is a 29-page-long presentation all about the mitochondria, mtDNA, its use in forensics and as a lineage marker. Included is why its used, when to use it, the analysis process and a brief summary on how to interpret the profile. Also included is information about geographical origin, species identification and the history of mtDNA To help you understand, I have tried to add as many helpful images as I can so you can visualise the topic.
