A list of complete mtDNA based lineages established for all frequently present variants in the Jewish communities studied

aThe sign > is used in all communities in which estimates for the community size is available only upon moving from the Diaspora. Due to recent intra-Jewish admixture contemporary estimation of the number of people descending from the original total are not available.
bHg names in italic fonts indicate them to be prospective candidates of clades to be defined properly in the future
cStralike denote a phylogenetic cluster in which the derivatives are one step away from the central node.
dCoding region hierarchy was observed in these lineages
eLineage was shared among Iraqi and Iranian Jews
fCoding region hierarchy was observed in these lineages and suggested two sub-clades. Coalescence analysis for the two sub-clades is shown.
gLineage was shared among Libyan and Tunisian Jews
hThe Ashkenazi data follows Behar et al. [5].
