Re: [RC] [RC] Horse Energy/Mitochondrial Inheritance... - Jean DiazSure. But the point I was trying to make is that the mitochondria (which we agree come from the dam) have their *own* DNA, separate from the nuclear DNA. That mitochondrial DNA is the information that has been used to trace dam lines (not just in horses) back hundreds or thousands of years.
