STR haplotypes of the Y chromosome are widely used as effective genetic markers in studies of human populations and in forensic DNA analysis. The task often arises to compare the spectrum of haplotypes in individuals or entire populations. Performing this task manually is too laborious and thus unrealistic. We propose an algorithm for counting similarity between STR haplotypes. This algorithm is suitable for massive analyses of samples. It is implemented in the computer program Haplomatch…

Is there a Finno-Ugric component in the gene pool of Russians from Yaroslavl oblast? Evidence from Y-chromosome
TLDR
Preservation of the Finno-Ugric component in the gene pool of population of Mologa and a contribution of Slavic colonization in the formation of the gene Pool of the Yaroslavl Volga region populations make it possible to hypothesize the genetic contribution of the “downstream’ (Rostov- Suzdal) rather than “upstream” (Novgorod) Slavic migration wave.
Matrilineal and Patrilineal Genetic Continuity of Two Iron Age Individuals from a Pazyryk Culture Burial
TLDR
Despite the current focus on the two Pazyryk individuals, a rare glimpse into the ancient migrations was gained through the discovery of paternal and maternal haplotype matches across an immense geography that spans from Yakutia to Turkey.
The Connection of the Genetic, Cultural and Geographic Landscapes of Transoxiana
TLDR
Investigation of STR-based clusters of haplotypes and their ages revealed that cultural and demic expansions of Transoxiana were not closely connected with each other, and the main factor structuring the gene pool was the mode of subsistence: settled agriculture or nomadic pastoralism.
Uniparental Genetic Analyses Reveal the Major Origin of Fujian Tanka from Ancient Indigenous Daic Populations
TLDR
The interpopulation comparison revealed that the Fujian Tanka have a closer affinity with Daic populations than with Han Chinese in paternal lineages but are closely clustered with southern Han populations such as Hakka and Chaoshanese in maternal lineages.
Population biobanks: Organizational models and prospects of application in gene geography and personalized medicine
TLDR
The results obtained using the biobanks in transdisciplinary research and prospective applications for the purposes of genogeography, genomic medicine, and forensic science are presented.

TLDR
Overall, in the Caucasus region, unmatched levels of gene-language coevolution occurred within geographically isolated populations, probably due to its mountainous terrain.

Analysis of Y chromosome STR haplotypes in the European part of Russia reveals high diversities but non-significant genetic distances between populations
TLDR
Whereas gradual change in the Y chromosome pool exists between Russia and the Slavic-speaking populations to the West, remarkable discontinuities were observed with neighbouring populations in the East, North and South.
Expanding the forensic German mitochondrial DNA control region database: genetic diversity as a function of sample size and microgeography
TLDR
HV1 sequences of 700 male inhabitants of one village in Lower Saxony were generated and showed a nearly linear increase of the number of different haplotypes with increasing number of individuals, demonstrating that the commonly used haplotype diversity measure (Nei 1987) for population samples tends to underestimate mtDNA diversity in the actual population.

Mitochondrial portraits of human populations using median networks.
TLDR
A novel network approach for portraying mtDNA relationships is proposed that reduces the complexity of the network by identifying parallelisms and is guided by a compatibility argument and an additional source of phylogenetic information: the frequencies of the mitochondrial haplotypes.

A measure of population subdivision based on microsatellite allele frequencies.
TLDR
It was found that, under the generalized stepwise mutation model, R( ST) provides relatively unbiased estimates of migration rates and times of population divergence while F(ST) tends to show too much population similarity, particularly when migration rates are low or divergence times are long.
