12. mtDNA and evolution β: Artificial evolution Laboratory-specific processes (error and fraud)

13. Major sources of error in mtDNA sequence data Artificial Recombination through contamination or sample mix-up (or targeting nuclear inserts of mtDNA) Phantom mutations sequencing errors at electrophoresis Documentation errors incurred by casual reading or writing

14. Impurifying selection is the driving force in artificial evolution inasmuch as incorrect data are more flexible to interpret and can support sexy stories — seemingly told by DNA — which are then disseminated by high-impact factor journals (e.g. Science and Nature). Worst case: mtDNA in cancer research (Salas et al, PLoS Medicine 2005)

19. Phantom mutations can be found in excess in the HVS-I Caucasus data of Nasidze and Stoneking (2001). In view of additional problems, this may be regarded as the worst data set ever published in the realm of molecular anthropology; see Bandelt and Kivisild (Ann Hum Genet 2006) for data re-analysis

25. Strategies of authors to deal with errors 1st: Publishing a corrigendum [rare event] 2nd: No correction — but avoiding similar errors in future work [common practice] 3rd: No action — and committing the same errors as before [e.g.as Min-Xin Guan and colleagues do] 4th: Fraudulent action — performing fake analyses and giving false statements [as done by Mark Stoneking and Ivane Nasidze in the Ann Hum Genet]
