Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed the genetic makeup of five Russian populations using mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and Y-chromosome variations to understand the population's gene pool.
- Findings showed that the majority of the haplogroups for both mtDNA (97.9%) and Y-chromosome (99.7%) fit into West Eurasian lineages, indicating strong regional genetic ties.
- The results highlighted significant genetic diversity among Russian populations and suggested that male lineage may have played a larger role in the colonization of northeastern Russia, as indicated by the differences in mtDNA and Y-chromosome lineage distributions.
It has been often stated that the overall pattern of human maternal lineages in Europe is largely uniform. Yet this uniformity may also result from an insufficient depth and width of the phylogenetic analysis, in particular of the predominant western Eurasian haplogroup (Hg) H that comprises nearly a half of the European mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) pool. Making use of the coding sequence information from 267 mtDNA Hg H sequences, we have analyzed 830 mtDNA genomes, from 11 European, Near and Middle Eastern, Central Asian, and Altaian populations.
