We analysed the forensic characteristics and substructure of the Handan Han population based on 36 Y-STR (short tandem repeat) and Y-SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) markers. The two most dominant haplogroups in Handan Han, O2a2b1a1a1-F8 (17.95%) and O2a2b1a2a1a (21.

- - The study analyzed whole mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequences from 209 healthy individuals in the Daur group, an indigenous population in the Heilongjiang River basin, revealing 127 distinct mtDNA haplotypes and a high haplotype diversity (0.9933).
- - Findings indicate that while the Daur population shows connections to ancient groups in their region, they have significantly mixed genetic influences from other non-Mongolic neighboring populations.
- - The research enhances the mtDNA database and establishes genetic links between the Daur people and aboriginal populations from Siberia and the Amur-Ussuri Region, indicating that modern Daurians are more closely related to East Asian ancestry compared to other Mongolic-speaking groups.
Chongqing Han is an important southern Han group, but investigations on its paternal genetic structure are still limited. Here, we analyzed the forensic and phylogenetic characteristics of the Chongqing Han population based on 27 Y-STR and predicted Y-SNP markers. Based on AMOVA, haplogroup distribution and network analysis, we explored the genetic relationship between Chongqing Han, other Chinese groups and some southern indigenous groups (speaking Kra-Dai, Austronesian, etc).

In this study, we genotyped and investigated haplotypes of 27 Y-STR loci in 1037 Changchun Han male individuals using commercially available AmpFlSTR Yfiler® Plus kit. We calculated the Gene diversity (GD) values and haplotype diversity (HD) as important forensic parameters.

- The study focuses on the Y-chromosome haplogroup C2a-L1373, which is significant in tracing paternal lineages in northern Asia and Native American populations.
- Using DNA sequences from rare subbranches and ancient individuals, researchers constructed phylogenetic trees to analyze the haplogroup's origins and expansion.
- Results suggest that C2a-L1373 expanded after the last glacial maximum, revealing two potential migration waves and supporting theories that Native Americans are descended from "Ancient Northern Siberians" and other populations that emerged during that time.
Objectives: Haplogroup C2a-M48 is the predominant paternal lineage of Tungusic-speaking populations, one of the largest population groups in Siberia. Up until now, the origins and dispersal of Tungusic-speaking populations have remained unclear. In this study, the demographic history of Tungusic-speaking populations was explored using the phylogenetic analysis of haplogroup C2a-M86, the major subbranch of C2a-M48.

Phylogenetic analysis was performed to determine the genetic relationship of the Anhui Han population with other neighboring and/or linguistically close populations.

However, investigations on its internal phylogeny are still limited. In this study, we used whole Y-chromosome sequencing to update its phylogenetic tree.
