Abstract
Mitochondrial DNA of Yakuts has been compared to those of other Asian populations that belong to the Turkic, Mongolic, and Manchu-Tungusic linguistic groups. Haplogroups C and D proved to be the most frequent ones in Yakuts. In contrast to other Asian populations, subcluster D5a is major in Yakuts. The results have demonstrated that Yakuts are close to Tuvinians and Altaians in maternal lineage.Mesh:
