1000 Genomes mitochondrial indels distribution. The analysis of 1242 Illumina samples allowed to identify 149 deleted and 66 inserted mitochondrial positions, mostly heteroplasmic. The ratio between the number of homoplasmic and heteroplasmic indels and the length of mitochondrial loci is reported (normalized indels). The distribution of insertions and deletions within the mitochondrial genome shows peaks of indels ratio within the D-loop, while a lower number is present within coding regions.
