This article reports on a study that examined the Moroccan mitochondrial DNA gene pool and resulted in the creation of a large dataset of random samples from various population groups.
In an effort to facilitate forensic mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) testing in Morocco, high-quality control region sequences from 509 individuals were generated using a comprehensive processing and data review system. This large dataset of random samples from various Moroccan population groups (Arab speaking, Berber speaking, and Sahrawi speaking) exhibited a low random match probability (0.52 percent) and a mean of pairwise comparisons of 13.24. The Moroccan mtDNA gene pool studied here was defined entirely by West Eurasian (58.15 percent) and African haplogroups (41.85 percent). (Published Abstract Provided)
