Study uncovers genetic differences of the Dolgans in Yakutia, indicating diverse ancestry from other populations.
In this study we describe the genetic features of the Dolgans of the Anabarsky ulus of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) and their genetic relationships with neighboring populations of Yakutia and the Krasnoyarsk Krai. An analysis of the features of the Anabar Dolgan gene pool in comparison with the Dolgans from Taimyr based on the Y-chromosome and mtDNA polymorphism showed significant genetic differences between them, which are more pronounced in the diversity of Y-chromosome lineages.
