Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) analysis found an important role in forensic genetics,
especially when nuclear DNA analysis does not give a conclusive response. In this study,
mitochondrial DNA Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (mtSN P) analysis was compared to traditional mtDNA sequencing in order to determine the most useful method for mix detection, a reality in forensic genetics routine. MtSN P analysis allowed to detect mixtures in samples sharing the same haplotype for HV1/HV2 regions
