[Allelic polymorphism of six microsatellite DNA loci in populations of Sakha (Yakutia)]
Abstract:
The distribution of allele frequencies of six STR-loci (D3S1358, D16S539, THOI, D8S1179, LPL, HUMvWFII), used in forensic practice, was analyzed in populations of Sakha (Yakutia) (three ethnogeographical groups of Sakha (Yakuts), Evenks, Yukagirs, Dolgans, Russians). Significant differences were revealed between the Russians and all other populations by five markers. Values of total discriminative potential (PD) of studied system for each population were estimated. The level of interpopulation genetic differences (F(ST)) was 0.005. On the basis of allelic polymorphism of STR-loci we estimated phylogenetic relationships between populations under study and populations of different regions--East Europe, South Siberia, Chukotka and Kamchatka.

Comparing Copy Number Variations and SNPs
Copy number variations or CNVs are the structural variations that cover more than 1kb of DNA sequence. The single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), on the other hand, is a single nucleotide change or a point mutation that is found in more than 1%...
