That's all. I would never want to keep you from paying for genome testing. I just want to make sure that you aren't paying Google to then resell it to Pfizer. -Steve www.thegenesherpa.blogspot.com Blaine,

For companies with ancestry services based on the maternal theory: this is hell. There are other hints in the literature too and I plan to cover the topic later.

Additionally, genetic genealogists often use mitochondrial DNA to support or disprove the conclusion that two individuals are related. This use ALWAYS assumes that mitochondrial DNA is only inherited maternally. Lucky for us, there is very little evidence that mitochondrial DNA is ever inherited paternally. I haven't done a complete literature search, but anecdotally I believe that the paper you cited is the only example.
