Objective:
To study the genetic polymorphisms of 7 Y chromosome single nucleotide polymorphisms (Y-SNPs) among unrelated Mongolian males from Inner Mongolia Region.
Methods:
Seven Y-SNPs with expected allelic frequencies close to 0.50:0.50 in Mongolian population were selected from databases including HapMap and relevant literature. The Y-SNPs were then analyzed among 95 unrelated male Mongolian DNA samples with ligase detection reaction (LDR) technique. Statistical analysis was carried out with Arlequin 3.5.
Results:
All of the 7 Y-SNPs had 2 alleles. Seven haplotypes were identified among the 95 samples, with the haplotype diversity (HD) being 0.7990. Except for rs17316007, whose allelic frequencies was 0.832:0.168, each of the remaining Y-SNPs had a allelic frequency close to 0.50:0.50. The gene diversity (GD) for rs17316007 was 0.2825, while those of the remaining Y-SNPs were all greater than 0.4375.
Conclusion:
Except for rs17316007, the other 6 Y-SNPs showed good diversity and genetic polymorphism, and may be used for individual identification and paternity testing for the Inner Mongolia region.

Factors Affecting Dissolution: Polymorphism, Amorphism and Pseudopolymorphism
Some polymorphic crystals possess lower aqueous solubility than their amorphous counterparts, leading to incomplete absorption. For instance, the oral suspension of Chloramphenicol, which...
Chromosome Structure
The centromere is a DNA sequence that links sister chromatids. This is also where kinetochores, protein complexes to which spindle microtubules attach, are constructed after the chromosome is replicated. The kinetochores allow the spindle microtubules to move the chromosomes within the cell during cell division.
Telomeres consist of non-coding repetitive nucleotide...
