Analysis of Y-chromosome lines of Russian old-residents in the village Russkoye Ustye

Abstract
Among the indigenous peoples of the Arctic coast of Yakutia (Yukaghirs, Chukchi, Evens, Evenks, Yakuts) there have long been enclaves of Russian old-settlers. The question of their origin remains unclear, but it is assumed that the ancestors of the Russian old settlers moved to the lower reaches of Indigirka in 16th century. To study the population genetic history we have analyzed for the first time Y-chromosome lineages of unrelated men from the village of Russkoe Ustye of Allaikhovsky ulus of the Sakha Republic (Yakutia) (n=12). It was found that more than half (83.4%) of the lineages of the Russkoustinians are characteristic of populations of the Russian North (N3a4, N3a1, R1a, R1b) and only 16.6% are typical for population of Eastern Siberia (C3). The dominance of N3a4-lineages (58.4%) which are absent in the gene pool of indigenous population of North-Eastern Eurasia and found among the northern Russians of the Arkhangelsk and Vologda regions, testifies more in favor of the Pomor hypothesis of the origin of the Russkoustinians.
