In human mitochondrial genetics , Haplogroup L6 is a human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplogroup . It is a small haplogroup lcoal to the Ethiopian highlands and Yemen.[ 3]
Distribution
Projected spatial frequency distribution for haplogroup L6. Schematic tree of mtDNA haplogroup L6 (and L4). Ages (in ka ) indicated are maximum likelihood estimates obtained for the whole-mtDNA genome. This haplogroup has been found only in Yemen and Ethiopia .[ 4]
Subclades
Tree
This phylogenetic tree of haplogroup M subclades is based on the paper by Mannis van Oven and Manfred Kayser Updated comprehensive phylogenetic tree of global human mitochondrial DNA variation [ 2]
