What is it about?
There are different public databases and open access information that can be exploited to be reused in different research projects. With this concept in mind, we carried out a study to answer the question about the prevalence of haplogroups in human populations of modern Mexico. Since the publication of genomic and mitochondrial data in Latin American populations are very scarce and with very small samples, our work proposes to consider the availability of genomic and genetic data collections that can be reused for other purposes, different from those initially proposed in the investigations where the sequences were obtained.

Why is it important?
This research is important because the mitochondrial information in Mexican population is scarce.
Perspectives
This reference work to explore other database and obtain more information of the mexican ancestry, as other Latino American populations are underrepresented in genomic databases.
