Sequence polymorphism of mitochondrial DNA in Japanese individuals from Gifu Prefecture.
Sequence polymorphisms of the hypervariable region HV1 in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) were analyzed in a sample of 137 unrelated Japanese individuals living in Gifu Prefecture (central region of Japan) using polymerase chain reaction amplification and direct sequencing. Eighty-two different haplotypes resulting from 81 variable sites were found in the mtDNA HV1 region between positions 16061 and 16450. The most frequent haplotype (16223T, 16362C) was shared by ten individuals. The genetic diversity and the genetic identity were 0.985 and 0.022, respectively. The C-stretch region located around position 16189 was observed in 23.4% of this population sample. Sequence heteroplasmy at the position 16103 (A/G) was found in one individual.and I am confident that our coaches are ready and prepared.”

The other holdovers are Mark Kilam (special teams), Pete Costanza (receivers), Marc Mueller (running backs), Pat DelMonaco (offensive line), Brent Monson (linebackers) and Kahlil Carter (defensive backs).

The Stampeders had a void to fill at the defensive coordinator spot after the recent departure of Rich Stubler, who joined Scott Milanovich and the Toronto Argonauts after his contract ended. Stubler helped coach the Stampeders to a Grey Cup Championship in 2014 and a 14-4 record in 2015 thanks in part to one of the CFL’s elite defences.

Claybrooks played a key role as a coach of Calgary’s Grey Cup-winning defence in 2014.

The work of Claybrooks and the defensive line also played a huge role though, as the Stamps’ defence was among
