What is another word for mtdna control region?
Pronunciation: [ˌɛmtˌiːdˈiːˌɛnˈe͡ɪ kəntɹˈə͡ʊl ɹˈiːd͡ʒən] (IPA) 
The mtDNA control region is also known by several other names in the scientific community. These include the mitochondrial displacement loop or D-loop, the hypervariable region I (HVRI), and the hypervariable region II (HVRII). The term D-loop refers to the double-strand break that occurs during DNA replication, creating a single-stranded region that forms a loop. This region is important for regulating mtDNA replication and transcription. HVRI and HVRII refer to specific regions within the D-loop that have high variability and are often used in studies of human migration and ancestry. Understanding these alternate names can help researchers navigate the literature and communicate their findings accurately.
