Analysis of genetic diversity of Russian regional populations based on STR markers used in DNA identification (original) (raw)

Y-chromosome STR variation in Ukrainian populations

Bulletin of Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv. Series: Biology, 2015

The haplotype and allele frequencies for 17 STR loci of Y-chromosome were obtained for 1151 indigenous Ukrainians from 13 regional populations representing the major territorial subdivisions of Ukraine. There were no significant inter-population differences. The genetic subdivisions within Ukraine was revealed between Polesie, western and eastern forest-steppe populations. The highest microsatellite variability was observed along the edges of Ukrainian area – in the Carpathian region, Bukovina, Sloboda Ukraine; the lowest – in Polesie. The average haplotype diversity values are higher in the steppe and forest-steppe zones, than in Polesie and the Carpathians. Forensic parameters were calculated: total haplotype diversity HD = 0,998855, match probability MP = 0.00114508, the discrimination capacity DC = 0,89400521.

Population and genetic features, genomic inbriding and homozy-gosity level for black-and-white and holstein breeds by STR and SNP markers in Russia

Вестник Пермского университета. Серия «Биология»=Bulletin of Perm University. Biology, 2021

The object of the study was sires of the Black-and-White and Holstein breeds, which had STR profiles and passed the genotyping procedure for SNP markers. The subject of the study was the level of genomic inbreeding and homozygosity, as well as population-genetic characteristics based on them. With an increase in Fx based on pedigree data, an increase in the level of genomic inbreeding (FROH) calculated from SNP markers was also noted. The results for 9 STR markers record a wavelike increase in homozygosity from group I to group IV with a subsequent increase from group V to group VII inclusive. During the study of the average FROH values in accordance with the years of birth of sires, a significant difference was found between the last two groups (2009-2011; 2012-2014) from all the others in a pairwise comparison. The results of calculating the FROHand Ca9 of bulls from different countries of origin indicate a statistically significant differentiation of the group of animals from Rus...

SSR analysis of modern Russian potato varieties using DNA samples of nomenclatural standards

Plant Biotechnology and Breeding

The N.I. Vavilov All-Russian Institute of Plant Genetic Resources (VIR) is developing new approaches to documentation of national cultivars, taking into account recommendations of the International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants in parallel with methods of genetic certification. The nomenclatural standard of a particular cultivar represented by a herbarium specimen can be used as a reference for verifying authenticity and uniformity of cultivar specimens obtained from various sources. The verification requires fast and reliable methods for cultivar genotyping. This paper presents protocols for modified methods of DNA extraction, PCR-analysis and SSR-genotyping, which allow potato cultivars identification without the use of expensive reagent kits. A set of ten chromosome-specific microsatellite markers was used to study polymorphisms in 66 modern Russian potato cultivars, as well as in 11 pre-cultivars and breeding clones, represented by nomenclatural standards and vouche...

Frontier identity of population in the border regions of Eastern Slavic states

Vestnik slavianskikh kul’tur [Bulletin of Slavic Cultures]

The paper is to study the frontier identities of population of the border regions of the Eastern Slavic states. The key theoretical and methodological approaches are the concept of “frontier”, the theory of intercultural communication and the theory of liminality. The purpose of the paper is a scientific and theoretical understanding of the identity of the frontier, which is being formed in the space of the border regions of the East Slavic states. The author emphasizes that against the background of the frontier, which causes active cross-border transcultural communication, there are noticeable variations in ethnocultural manifestations. An analysis of the geopolitical preferences of the population made it possible to conclude that the fronts were dynamic. Basing on the analysis of results of domestic and foreign studies, the paper consistently examines peculiarities of the belonging of the frontier of Ukraine, the Republic of Belarus and Russia. The results of the author's soc...

В данном сообщении вводятся в научный оборот Y-STR гаплотипы узбеков, уйгуров, таджиков, пуштунов, хазарейцев, моголов из базы данных Family Tree DNA. 37 гаплотипов были исследованы авторами статьи. Остальные 81 гаплотип публиковались ранее другими авторами, либо лежат в открытом доступе в базах данных Family Tree DNA. В статье исследованы также данные по роду барлас, разные части которого относятся к разным этносам (узбеки, моголы). Аргументирована мысль об изначальной принадлежности барласов к субкладу С2-F4002 (старкластер). Ниже, в Приложении 1, приведены гаплотипы, использованные в этой работе.

The application of microsatellite markers for estimation of genetic diversity of European spruce

Proceedings of the Saint Petersburg Forestry Research Institute, 2018

The review discusses trends in using of microsatellite markers for evaluation of the genetic diversity in European spruce populations. A brief historical outline of SSR marker appearance, development and using for population genetic studies of spruce species is given. The characteristics of groups of the most frequently used microsatellite markers of spruce are recited. The principles of the development of microsatellite multiplexes are described. The published multiplexes of microsatellite markers proposed for estimation of the genetic variability of European spruce are listed. Positive properties and disadvantages of a number of proposed multiplexes and individual loci are noted. Microsatellites from expressed sequence tags (EST-SSR) are highly-valued and they allow us to reveal the genetic diversity in functionally important parts of the genome. EST-SSRs and chloroplast microsatellites (cpSSRs) are characterized by a lower mutation rate than nuclear microsatellites (nSSR) from genomic libraries and they can be more easily applied for related tree species studies. Several kinds of multiplexes containing two or three pairs of WS EST-SSR primers are published. The loci WS0023.B03, WS0022.B15, WS0016.O09, WS0092.A19, WS0073.H08, WS00111.K13, WS0092.M15 developed by D. Rungis and co-authors are the most popular. Despite the fact that a large number of multiplexes of nuclear microsatellites have been published, the analysis of presented data shows that the SSR-marker panels are still in the testing stage and are not ready-made recommended tools for spruce population studies. The optimizing of the panels of microsatellite markers, specifying the composition and the number of loci suitable for assessing the genetic diversity of European spruce remains relevant at the moment.
