To define the Y-chromosomal genetic structure in a sample of Atayal men from Taiwan.
Buccal swab samples were collected from 170 unrelated healthy male volunteers from Taiwanese aboriginal Atayal population. Genomic DNA was extracted and 17 Y chromosome-specific short tandem repeat loci (DYS456, DYS389I, DYS390, DYS389II, DYS458, DYS19, DYS385a/b, DYS393, DYS391, DYS439, DYS635, DYS392, Y GATA H4, DYS437, DYS438, and DYS448) were analyzed using the AmpFlSTR Yfiler Polymerase Chain Reaction Amplification Kit.
A total of 99 different haplotypes were identified, 69 (69.7%) of which were unique. Total haplotype diversity was 0.9887. The most common haplotype was shared by 9 individuals in the study sample. Gene diversities ranged from 0.0574 for DYS438 to 0.6749 for DYS456.
Our results will help provide the molecular genetic evidence for human settlement of the Pacific.
确定来自台湾泰雅族男性样本中的Y染色体遗传结构。
从170名来自台湾原住民泰雅族的无血缘关系的健康男性志愿者中采集颊拭子样本。提取基因组DNA,并使用AmpFlSTR Yfiler聚合酶链反应扩增试剂盒分析17个Y染色体特异性短串联重复序列位点(DYS456、DYS389I、DYS390、DYS389II、DYS458、DYS19、DYS385a/b、DYS393、DYS391、DYS439、DYS635、DYS392、Y GATA H4、DYS437、DYS438和DYS448)。
共鉴定出99种不同的单倍型,其中69种(69.7%)是独特的。单倍型多样性总计为0.9887。研究样本中有9个人共享最常见的单倍型。基因多样性范围从DYS438的0.0574到DYS456的0.6749。
我们的结果将有助于为太平洋地区人类定居提供分子遗传学证据。
