Phylogeography is the study of genetic relationships in their geographic context. Mitochondrial DNA is a molecule inherited solely through the mother, and is thus a valuable tool for exploring maternal ancestry. We have developed a new biotechnology (a "Gene Chip") now makes it possible to determine the complete mtDNA sequence of multiple animal species in a single experiment, which allows these maternal lines to be traced through time and space with great precision.

系统地理学是在地理环境中研究遗传关系的学科。线粒体DNA是一种仅通过母亲遗传的分子，因此是探索母系祖先的宝贵工具。我们已经开发出一种新的生物技术（“基因芯片”），现在可以在一个实验中确定多个动物物种的完整mtDNA序列，这使得这些母系可以通过时间和空间进行精确追踪。
