This review summarizes molecular genetic studies on the genetic structure and genetic history of the Sakha (Yakuts) population in the context of anthropological, linguistic, historical, and archaeological data. The features of the genetic structure of the Yakut population by Y-chromosome lineages, mitochondrial DNA, and genome-wide SNP-data are described. The composition and ratio of the components of the genome and the genetic relationships of the Sakha with populations of Yakutia and neighboring regions are considered. The reconstruction of the genetic history of the population made it possible to answer a number of questions concerning the ethnogenesis of the Yakuts.
