Abstract: The discovery of mtDNA types common to Asians and Amerinds (types A, B, C, and D) forced investigators to search for those nations of Asia which, though not considered the ancestors of the Amerinds, have retained a close genetic resemblance with them. We collected samples and studied the gene pools of the Turkic‐speaking nations of South Siberia: Altaians, Khakassians, Shorians, Tuvinians, Todjins, Tofalars, Sojots, as well as Mongolian‐speaking Buryats. The data indicate that nearly… Expand

      Gene pool differences between Northern and Southern Altaians inferred from the data on Y-chromosomal haplogroups
      TLDR
      The data of factor analysis, variance analysis, cluster analysis, and phylogenetic analysis point to substantial genetic differentiation of Northern and Southern Altaians. Expand
      A Comparative Analysis of Chinese Historical Sources and Y-DNA Studies with Regard to the Early and Medieval Turkic Peoples
      In the past 10 years, geneticists have investigated the genetic variation of modern Turkic populations as well as ancient DNA of the Xiongnu and others. The accumulated findings of these surveys,… Expand
      Genome-Wide Analysis in Brazilians Reveals Highly Differentiated Native American Genome Regions
      TLDR
      These analyses have identified candidate genes for selection within Amerindian ancestry, and by comparison of the two analyses, those for which the differentiation may have arisen during the migration from Asia to the Americas. Expand
      Evidence for Central Asian Origin of the p.Val27Ile Variant in the GJB2 Gene
      TLDR
      The research suggests that p.Val27Ile arose in an ancient common ancestor who lived in Altai Republic and then the polymorphism was brought to America by its first inhabitants, the Amerindians, which enhances the understanding of the peopling of the America, which remains unresolved. Expand
      Using ancestry-informative markers to define populations and detect population stratification
      TLDR
      The debate about the quantity and methods for selection of highly informative marker loci required to characterize populations that vary in substructure or the degree of admixture is focused on, and how these theoretically desirable approaches can be effectively put into practice is discussed.

      Initial screening transferrin saturation values, serum ferritin concentrations, and HFE genotypes in Native Americans and whites in the Hemochromatosis and Iron Overload Screening Study.
      TLDR
      The screening TfSat and SF phenotypes of Native Americans are similar to those of whites and the allele frequencies of HFE C282Y and H63D are significantly lower in Native Americans than in whites. Expand

      Initial screening transferrin saturation values, serum ferritin concentrations, and HFE genotypes in Native Americans and whites in the Hemochromatosis and Iron Overload Screening Study
      TLDR
      The screening TfSat and SF phenotypes of Native Americans are similar to those of whites and the allele frequencies of HFE C282Y and H63D are significantly lower in Native Americans than in whites. Expand

        Mitochondrial DNA variation in two South Siberian Aboriginal populations: implications for the genetic history of North Asia.
        TLDR
        The results of nucleotide diversity analysis in East Asian and Siberian populations suggest that Central and East Asia were the source areas from which the genetically heterogeneous Tuvinians and Buryats first emerged. Expand

        TLDR
        Analysis of the association between the region V deletion-insertion polymorphism and certain restriction haplogroups pointed to repeated and independent emergence of the 4-bp insertion in Siberia, indicating that the populations Southern and Eastern Siberia can be considered as ancestral relatives to the ethnic groups of the New World.

        TLDR
        The peculiarities of their geographical distribution in Asia allow us to consider the southern regions of Siberia and the adjacent territories of Central and East Asia as the site inhabited by the ancestors of the first wave of migrants to North America. Expand

        Mitochondrial DNA analysis in Tibet: implications for the origin of the Tibetan population and its adaptation to high altitude.
        TLDR
        It is suggested that mtDNA mutations are unlikely to play a major role in the adaptation of Tibetans to high altitudes and is supportive of previous genetic evidence that Tibetans, although located in southern Asia, share common ancestral origins with northern Mongoloid populations. Expand

        Mitochondrial DNA analysis of Mongolian populations and implications for the origin of New World founders.
        TLDR
        It is proposed that indigenous populations in east Central Asia represent the closest genetic link between Old and New World populations and is likely that founder effects manifest throughout Asia and the Americas are responsible for differences in mtDNA haplotype frequencies observed in these regions.

        Asian affinities and continental radiation of the four founding Native American mtDNAs.
        TLDR
        Observations suggest that the process of tribalization began early in the history of the Amerinds, with relatively little intertribal genetic exchange occurring subsequently. Expand
        mtDNA variation of aboriginal Siberians reveals distinct genetic affinities with Native Americans.
        TLDR
        The hypothesis that the first humans to move from Siberia to the Americas carried with them a limited number of founding mtDNAs is supported and that the initial migration occurred between 17,000-34,000 years before present. Expand
