MtDNA tools
From ISOGG Wiki
A number of mtDNA tools are available for analysing mtDNA results to provide a haplogroup assignment or to check for mutations associated with diseases.

List of mtDNA tools
- James Lick's mtHap utility A tool for checking and assigning mtDNA haplogroups on an individual basis. It provides a detailed assignment showing the SNP path and also gives a list of alternatives. The tool is usually updated within 24 hours of the release of each new Phylotree build.
- YSEQ mt Clade Finder A new tool developed by Hunter Provyn and Thomas Krahn. It will provide a haplogroup assignment from a FASTA file based on the experimental YFull mtDNA tree.
- Haplofind The tool is described in: Vianello D, Sevini F, Castellani G, Laura L, Capri M, Franceschi C. Haplofind: A new method for high-throughput mtDNA haplogroup assignment. Human Mutations 2013 May 20. [Epub ahead of print]. This tool can be used for batch-processing mtDNA haplogroup assignments and will also analyse sequences for medically informative associations. It only accepts FASTA files.
- HaploGrep 2 An automated tool for determining haplogroups. The tool will accept VCF files from whole genome sequencing data. For details see the article by Weissensteiner et al (2016) on HaploGrep 2: mitochondrial haplogroup classification in the era of high-throughput sequencing
- Ian Logan's Haplogroup Finder
- Ian Logan's GENbank mtDNA sequence checker
- Ian Logan's mtDNA mutation computer model
- Mitomaster
- Mitowheel
- mitoYDNA.org A crowdsourced Y-DNA and mtDNA database with tools and analysis.
- mtDNA Profiler The tool is described in: Yang IS, Lee HY, Yang WI, Shin KJ. mtDNAprofiler: A Web Application for the Nomenclature and Comparison of Human Mitochondrial DNA Sequences. Journal of Forensic Science. 2013 May 17. [Epub ahead of print]
- mtPhyl, a free software tool for human mitochondrial DNA analysis and phylogeny reconstruction
- PhyloGeographer mt Heat Map A tool developed by Hunter Provyn and Thomas Krahn providing relative frequency maps for mtDNA haplogroups
- Tom Glad's mtDNA analysis utility
- Ybrowse Human mitochondrial DNA on Ybrowse
- YFull The company maintains an independent mtDNA tree and offers an mtDNA analysis for a fee
