Haplogroup A10 is a branch on the maternal tree of human kind. The woman who founded this line lived between 3,300 and 12,300 years ago (Behar et al 2012b).
Research studies include two people from this lineage. The first is from Russia (Malyarchuk et al., 2010a). The second is from a Canadian with European origins (Greenspan et al., 2006 – 2016).
Geno 2 samples have so far come from people in the United States and Canada with European origins.
Note that in Malyarchuk et al., 2010a the line was described as A8, and it was renamed to fit with Phylotree naming in build 7.

Blurb: This lineage was born in Siberia during the last glacial maximum. Some from this lineage later traveled back toward Central Asia, where they are part of isolated populations.Author: Rebekah A. Canada | Copyright: National Geographic
mtDNA Haplogroup A10 Phylotree History
Phylotree.org is the maternal (mtDNA) tree of humanity. It is maintained by Dr. Mannis Van Oven. Each build is a major update to the tree. The current build is #17.

mtDNA Haplogroup A10 Data Sources
GenBank Samples
GenBank is a database of genetic sequence data. It is run by the United States National Institute of Health. It serves as the main repository for mtDNA full sequence profiles. Samples come both from published academic literature and donations from genetic genealogy community members. In addition to GenBank samples, listings below may include other samples published but not submitted to GenBank such as those from the HapMap project.
Note: GenBank results currently use Phylotree build 16. I am working on changing results over to build 17.
