The VNTR loci D7S104, D11S129, D18S17, D20S15,
and D21S112 in three indigenous Siberian populations were analyzed
to determine the populations' genetic structure. Using the Kolmogorov-
Smirnov test, we found that the Siberian indigenous populations
of Surinda and Sulamai are separated at the D1 IS 129 locus
(p < 0.05). However, the population of Poligus is genetically homogeneous
compared with the villages of Sulamai and Surinda.
Principal component plots for the sets of VNTR loci cluster the Siberian
groups together, reflecting the homogeneity of these populations.
An analysis of mean per locus heterozygosity versus the
distance from the centroid of distribution suggests gene flow into
Sulamai but little genetic exchange with Surinda and Poligus. Ultimately,
the VNTR data reflect the genetic distinctiveness of the
Kets and the Evenki.
