Possible sequence results ³ include the following:

• Exclusion
  Sequences differ at two positions.
   
• Cannot Exclude
  Sequences are fully concordant with common bases at every position; OR a single unspecified base in one of the sequences - common base at every position; OR ambiguous bases in both sequences at different positions -common base at every position; OR heteroplasmic mixture at a position in one sample that is not present in the other -common base at every position (G in both Q and K); OR heteroplasmic mixture at the same site in both sequences -common base at every position.
   
• Inconclusive
  Sequences are identical at every position except one; no indication of heteroplasmy.
