Czech Y-DNA: Egyin Gol Y-DNA markers

Authors Cristine Keyser-Tracqui, Eric Crubézy and Bertrand Ludes published (2003) an article Nuclear and mitochondrial DNA analysis of a 2,000-year-old necropolis in the Egyin Gol Valley of Mongolia., American Journal of Human Genetics 73, 247-260 (August 2003).
The full text of the article (pdf format) is here.

Researchers studied DNA from more than 62 skeletons and for 27 of them they obtained values of STR markers of Y-DNA. These values are compared here with profiles of Czech Y-DNA database. For the time being (November 2007) this is the only one observation of Y-DNA markers of persons who died before more than one hundred years, to the knowledge of Genebáze.



The Egyin Gol burial site is located in the North Mongolia by the Egyin Gol river, about 10 km afar from the confluence with the river Selenga. River Selenga enters lake Baikal:
Graves in the burial site are from the period of 300 BC - 200 AD.

Histograms of markers

observed at Egyin Gol (modrá barva) are displayed here together with the relevant ones of Czech Y-DNA database users (users with the haplogroup R1a) (červená barva).

Individual profiles and theirs comparison, matches and genetic distances with users of Czech Y-DNA database.

Observed matches shows unlike kinship. We can get an concept of probable results of the Archeosteon project.
In the same time this result may help us to create an opinion to statements arguing that the R1a haplogroup points to the slavic origin.

Experts say the culture of Egyin Gol people was close to one of Scytians, Saks, possibly Sarmatians.
