Haplogroup A5 is a branch on the maternal tree of human kind. The woman who founded this line lived between 12,200 and 21,700 years ago (Behar et al 2012b).
It was found in one study of the peoples of Taiwan (Ko et al., 2014).
So far, nobody from Geno 2 belongs to this lineage.

mtDNA Haplogroup A5 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.
