“…Subsequent studies have provided much more detail about the mtDNA composition of Mongol populations from Xinjiang, Mongolia, and Inner Mongolia, as well as a tentative picture of diversity in other ethnic groups in Mongolia (Kong et al 2003;Yao et al 2004;Gokcumen et al 2008;Pipes, Labuda, and Schurr 2008).
