The present invention is within the fields of human origins, medicine and evolutionary biology. More precisely, the invention relates to a method and kit for determining the geographic or population origin of a human based on mitochondrial DNA sequences and specifically to the use of mitochondrial DNA variants (polymorphisms) from the complete human mitochondrial genome. This information is employed in the comparison of biological samples with samples of known origin or with a database of mitochondrial genome sequences.

La présente invention concerne les origines de l'homme, la médecine et la biologie évolutive. Plus précisément, la présente invention concerne un procédé et une trousse permettant de déterminer l'origine géographique ou démographique d'un être humain à partir de séquences d'ADN mitochondrial. Plus particulièrement, l'invention concerne l'utilisation de variants d'ADN mitochondrial (polymorphismes) provenant du génome mitochondrial humain complet. Ces informations sont utilisées pour la comparaison d'échantillons biologiques avec des échantillons d'origine connue ou avec une base de données de séquences génomiques mitochondriales.
