In an effort to facilitate forensic mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) testing in Morocco, high-quality control region sequences from 509 individuals were generated using a comprehensive processing and data review system. This large dataset of random samples from various Moroccan population groups (Arab speaking, Berber speaking, and Sahrawi speaking) exhibited a low random match probability (0.52 %) and a mean of pairwise comparisons of 13.24. The Moroccan mtDNA gene pool studied here was defined entirely by West Eurasian (58.15 %) and African haplogroups (41.85 %).
