Based on an analysis of the polymorphism of nucleotide sequences (n = 111) of the control region (left domain) of mtDNA, the genetic diversity of the largest population of wild reindeer Rangifer tarandus in Eurasia, which inhabits Taimyr peninsula, was studied. High levels of gaplotypic (H) and nucleotide (pi) diversity (0.987 and 0.018, respectively) were revealed, which indicate the long existence of this population and the sufficiently stable growth of the population. The absence of long periods of abrupt decrease in the number of the Taimyr population of wild reindeer and/or facts of formation of its genetic diversity as a result of mixing of genetically distant conspecific populations is supported by the data on the distribution pattern of frequencies of pair differences between nucleotide sequences and the topology of the phylogenetic tree. The low level of genetic differences between reindeer from the western, central, and eastern groups reflects their common origin and close kinship.
基于对线粒体DNA控制区（左结构域）核苷酸序列多态性（n = 111）的分析，对栖息在泰梅尔半岛的欧亚大陆最大野生驯鹿种群的遗传多样性进行了研究。研究发现该种群具有高水平的单倍型多样性（H）和核苷酸多样性（π）（分别为0.987和0.018），这表明该种群存在时间长且种群增长足够稳定。核苷酸序列间成对差异频率的分布模式以及系统发育树的拓扑结构数据支持了泰梅尔野生驯鹿种群数量不存在长期急剧下降以及不存在因遗传距离较远的同种种群混合而形成其遗传多样性的事实。西部、中部和东部群体的驯鹿之间遗传差异水平较低，这反映了它们有共同的起源和密切的亲缘关系。
