Counterbalancing the time-dependent effect on the human mitochondrial DNA molecular clock

Abstract Background The molecular clock is an important genetic tool for estimating evolutionary timescales. However, the detection of a time-dependent effect on substitution rate estimates complicates its application. It has been suggested that demographic processes could be the main cause of this...
