Abstract

We have obtained Y-STR haplotypes in 12 loci (DYS19, DYS385, DYS389I, DYS389II, DYS390, DYS391, DYS392, DYS393, DYS437, DYS438 and DYS439) from 215 Buryat males. We have found that one haplotype (15-11,18-13-28-23-10-11-14-14-10-12) comprises more than 30% of Y chromosomes in this population while another haplotype (14-11,13-14-30-23-10-14-14-14-10-10) comprises additional 14% of chromosomes. The population under study seems to be very homogenous as far as Y chromosome is regarded and the most frequent haplotype seems to be the modal haplotype for Buryats.

    The selected reference populations along with the abbreviation, sample size, and publication reference for each are listed in Supplementary Table 1. Ethnographical information on the reference populations employed in the data analyses are provided [13–29]. Allelic frequencies for each locus were calculated using the gene counting method [9].

    Y-STR markers characterized by a rapid mutation rate may potentially be of a great use not only for individual identification purposes but also for resolving phylogenies of homogenous populations, whose diversity is low or has been dramatically reduced by a bottleneck effect, for instance. To answer the question if our assay may aid identification of individuals sampled from homogenous populations we chose Buryats from southern Siberia and Kereit clan from Kazakhstan, both of which have been previously screened for the Y-STR diversity [13,29]. Among Buryats (n = 202) 58 haplotypes were reported based on the PowerPlex Y analyses.

    No connections or relationship between the subjects were known. The procedure we followed is in accordance with the proposed methodology on Y chromosome STR analysis [2–4], similar to the methodology presented in [5–11]. The standard protocol of human and animal tissue was followed, to extract genomic DNA [12–14].

    DNA was extracted using the standard phenol-chloroform method, ethanol-precipitated as described previously [17] and stored at −80 °C. Allelic frequencies from a total of 23 previously published populations (Table 1) [10,18–35] were chosen for comparison across the 11 Y-STR loci (DYS19, DYS389I, DYS389II, DYS390, DYS391, DYS392, DYS393, DYS385a/b, DYS438, and DYS439), given that the alleles for the remaining loci typed in this study (DYS437, DYS448, DYS456, DYS458, DYS635 and GATA H4) were not reported for all of the geographically-targeted reference populations. In addition, three individuals from Amdo, 20 from Kham and 133 from U-Tsang were incorporated in this study from previously reported data [10].
