Abstract

Sequence polymorphism of the mitochondrial DNA D-loop was used to determine the genetic diversity of horses recovered from a Scythian princely tomb dating from the beginning of the 3rd century BC. Eight haplotypes were found among the 13 ancient horse samples tested. Phylogenetical analysis showed that these ancient horse's sequences, along with two Yakut ones, were distributed throughout the tree defined by modern horses' sequences and are closely related to them. No clear geographical affiliation of the specimens studied was thus determined. Our work, among others, supports the very ancient origin of the matrilines in horses.

摘要

线粒体DNA D环的序列多态性被用于确定从公元前3世纪初的一座斯基泰王子墓中发掘出的马匹的遗传多样性。在所检测的13个古代马样本中发现了8种单倍型。系统发育分析表明，这些古代马的序列与两个雅库特马的序列一起，分布在由现代马序列定义的整个谱系中，并且与它们密切相关。因此，未确定所研究样本的明确地理归属。我们的工作等支持了马母系起源非常古老的观点。
