In this article we review the evidence for and against recombination in human mtDNA. If recombination occurs, there needs to be a route by which genetic material can incorporate itself into the mitochondrial genome, and hence between mitochondrial lineages. We review the evidence for possible routes and then review the current state of the population genetic evidence for recombination. We conclude that there is no firmly established route by which recombination can occur, and that while some of the population genetic evidence is suggestive of recombination, it is far from conclusive.
在本文中，我们回顾了支持和反对人类线粒体DNA发生重组的证据。如果发生重组，那么遗传物质需要有一条途径将自身整合到线粒体基因组中，进而在线粒体谱系之间整合。我们回顾了可能途径的证据，然后审视了群体遗传学中关于重组证据的当前状况。我们得出结论，目前尚无确凿的重组发生途径，并且虽然一些群体遗传学证据暗示了重组的存在，但远非结论性的。
