The Structure of the Haplogroup C Zhaxylyk Sabitov, Adil Mendigaliyev. In this paper, based on the analysis of the FamilyTreeDNA database, the results of Geno 2.0 tests and the Chinese authors data on the partial sequencing of the Y- chromosome, a new variant of the structure of the haplogroup C has been proposed. If in the plan of the subclade C1 the proposed version does not differ from the official version of the structure of the haplogroup C ISOGG of 2014, is inferior to it in details , the data on the subclades C2 are substantially different from the official version of the data. This can be explained by introducing the new data for scientific use, which haven`t been taken into account during the compilation of the structure of the haplogroups C, as a whole before and its subclade C2 in particular. http://rjgg.molgen.org/index.php/RJGGRE/article/view/143

To disentangle some of the historical population movements in this area, 14 ancient human specimens excavated in the westernmost part of the Mongolian Altai were studied. Thirteen of them were dated from the Middle to the End of the Bronze Age and one of them to the Eneolithic period. The environmental conditions encountered in this region led to the good preservation of DNA in the human remains. Therefore, a multi-markers approach was adopted for the genetic analysis of identity, ancestry and phenotype markers. Mitochondrial DNA analyses revealed that the ancient Altaians studied carried both Western (H, U, T) and Eastern (A, C, D) Eurasian lineages. In the same way, the patrilineal gene pool revealed the presence of different haplogroups (Q1a2a1-L54, R1a1a1b2-Z93 and C), probably marking different origins for the male paternal lineages. To go further in the search of the origin of these ancient specimens, phenotypical characters (ie: hair and eye colour) were determined. For this purpose, we adapted the HIrisPlex assay recently described to MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. In addition, some ancestry informative markers were analyzed with this assay. The results revealed mixed phenotypes among this group confirming the probable admixed ancestry of the studied Altaian population at the Middle Bronze Age. The good results obtained from ancient DNA samples suggest that this approach might be relevant for forensic casework too.
