African populations are known to display a high diversity of mitochondrial haplogroups. In this research we explored mitochondrial haplogroup assignment in African populations using commonly used genome-wide SNP arrays. %K SNP array, Haplogroup assignment, mtDNA, Africa, HaploGrep, %Z Background Results - Phylogenetic trees - Haplogroup assignment software performance Discussion Conclusions Methods %J BMC genomic data %V 22 %N 1 %] 43 %I BioMed Central %C [London] %@ 2730-6844
