Figure 1
Comparison of HVS-I mutational spectra (between nucleotide positions 16024 and 16365) in ancient (Etruscan) and modern humans. Mutations are shown relative to the Cambridge reference sequence (Anderson et al. 1981). Numbers above the sequence are numbers of parallel mutations (both transitions and transversions) observed in mtDNA haplogroups from modern human populations; predicted mutational hotspots are underlined (for details, see Malyarchuk et al. [2002] and Malyarchuk and Rogozin [2004]). Numbers under the sequence are numbers of mutations found in cloned Etruscan HVS-I sequences.
