Description
English: Estimated contributions of European mtDNA lineages to the Ashkenazi mtDNA pool shown by major haplogroup. The possible overall Near Eastern contribution and fraction of unassigned lineages are also indicated. Our best estimate is to assign ~81% of Ashkenazi lineages to a European source, ~8% to the Near East and ~1% further to the east in Asia, with ~10% remaining ambiguous. At least two-thirds and most likely more than four-fifths of Ashkenazi maternal lineages have a European ancestry.
