What is Mitochondrial DNA and How Can It Be Used in Human Identification
When most people think about DNA, they picture the genetic material found in the nucleus of our cells — the “blueprint” that defines who we are. But did you know that there’s another type of DNA inside our cells that also tells a unique story? It’s called mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), and it’s increasingly becoming a powerful tool in human identification, especially when nuclear DNA is degraded or unavailable.
