American journal of physical anthropologyAm J Phys AnthropolAncient DNA reveals two paternal lineages C2a1a1b1a/F3830 and C2b1b/F845 in past nomadic peoples distributed on the Mongolian Plateau.402411402-41110.1002/ajpa.24076Since the third century CE, a series of nomadic tribes have been active on the eastern part of the Mongolian Plateau. Characterizing the genetic compositions of past nomadic people is significant for research on the nomadic cultures of the Eurasian Steppe region. Ancient DNA analysis facilitates a deeper understanding of the relationship between historical and modern nomadic populations.Whole-genome shotgun sequencing and capture sequencing of the nonrecombining region of the Y chromosome were performed for six ancient Hg C2/M217 individuals. The individuals were interred at six separate sites on the Mongolian Plateau and represent dates spanning the late Neolithic to Yuan Dynasty (~3,500-700 BP).After NRY capture sequencing, three of the six ancient samples were attributed to C2b1b/F845 and the other three ancient samples belonged to C2a1a1b1a/F3830. Analysis of whole-genome shotgun sequencing data shows that the ancient C2b1b/F845 individuals are closely related to She, Han and other East Asian populations, while the ancient C2a1a1b1a/F3830 individuals are more similar to modern Northeast Asian peoples, such as the Ulchi and Yakut.Hg C2/M217, widely distributed in the eastern part of the Eurasian continent, was discovered in the ancient Central Steppe and Baikal region. This study shows that there were two important subclades of Hg C2/M217 among the ancient nomadic peoples: C2a1a1b1a/F3830, which has made important genetic contributions to modern Mongolic- and Manchu-speaking populations, and C2b1b/F845, which probably originated in the farming populations of southern East Asia and made certain genetic contributions to past nomadic peoples on the Mongolian Plateau.© 2020 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.LiJiaweiJAncient DNA Laboratory, Research Center for Chinese Frontier Archaeology, Jilin University, Changchun, People's Republic of China.CaiDaweiDAncient DNA Laboratory, Research Center for Chinese Frontier Archaeology, Jilin University, Changchun, People's Republic of China.ZhangYeYCollege of Life Science, Jilin University, Changchun, People's Republic of China.ZhuHongHAncient DNA Laboratory, Research Center for Chinese Frontier Archaeology, Jilin University, Changchun, People's Republic of China.ZhouHuiH0000-0001-5858-5636Ancient DNA Laboratory, Research Center for Chinese Frontier Archaeology, Jilin University, Changchun, People's Republic of China.College of Life Science, Jilin University, Changchun, People's Republic of China.engHistorical ArticleJournal ArticleResearch Support, Non-U.S. Gov't20200514United StatesAm J Phys Anthropol04006540002-94830DNA, AncientIMAnthropology, PhysicalChromosomes, Human, YgeneticsDNA, AncientanalysisEthnicitygeneticshistoryGenome, HumangeneticsGenomicsmethodsHistory, AncientHumansMaleMongoliaSequence Analysis, DNAmethodsTransients and MigrantshistoryNRY captureancient DNAnomadic populationshotgun sequencing2019742020492020417202051560202112660202051560ppublish3240695410.1002/ajpa.24076REFERENCES
