[Migration structure and inbreeding in the Talysh population]

The origin of genes in Talysh population (South Azerbaijan Republic) is considered. During 11 generations of population history more than 100 unrelated persons supplied the genes to the population. At present, the population is highly isolated: the endogamy index is 0.878, gametic index being 0.935. Inbreeding is estimated both ty means of genealogy and from the frequency of marriages between the persons of the same kin. The inbreeding coefficient is FIT = 0.026-0.030, its random component is FST = 0.01-0.02 and non-random component is FIS = 0.026-0.020.
