TL;DR: The global mtDNA diversity in humans is described based on analyses of the complete mtDNA sequence of 53 humans of diverse origins, providing a concurrent view on human evolution with respect to the age of modern humans.

TL;DR: The authors used massively parallel sequencing to identify selective sweeps of favorable alleles and candidate mutations that have had a prominent role in the domestication of domestic chickens and their subsequent specialization into broiler (meat-producing) and layer (egg-consuming) chickens.

TL;DR: The Human Mitochondrial Genome Database (mtDB) has provided a comprehensive database of complete human mitochondrial genomes since early 2000 and contains 2104 sequences, of special interest to medical researchers and population geneticists evaluating specific positions.

TL;DR: The mitochondrial genome data indicate that Australia was colonized between 40 and 70 thousand years ago, either by a single migration from a heterogeneous source population or by multiple movements of smaller groups occurring over a period of time.

TL;DR: A suitable methodology for determining the complete human mitochondrial sequence and the global mtDNA diversity in humans is described and the implications with respect to the different hypotheses for the evolution of modern humans are discussed.
