Nasedkina1 Investigation of Frequency of Occurrence of Core Y Haplogroups in Residents of Moscow and St. Petersburg 1Engelhardt Institute of Molecular Biology, Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, 119991 Russia2Biochip-IMB, Moscow, 119991 Russia 3Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (State University), Dolgoprudny, 141700 Russia *biochip@nm.ru Received - 2012-12-17; Accepted - 2013-03-25 The collection of DNA from 239 Moscow residents and 62 St. Petersburg residents has been investigated by means of a biochip for genotyping haplogroup markers of the Y chromosome, including M130 (C), M145 (DE), P257 (G), M69 (II), U179 (I), M304 (J), M185 (L), M231 (N), M175 (O), P224 (R), L146 (R1a), and M343 (R1b). The distribution of haplogroup frequency in populations native to Moscow and St.Petersburg has been obtained. Three subsamples that vary in the duration of residence (one, two, or three generations) were compared. The increase in J, G, and R1b frequencies may be related to immigration from the Caucasus and other regions. genotyping, biochip, Y-chromosome haplogroup |
