Abstract
This work develops a reference STR database on the Volga-Ural population, Russia,
comprised of 640 individuals that were sampled from eight ethnic groups (Finno-Ugric
Mari, Mordva-Moksha, Mordva-Erzja, Komi-Permjak, and Udmurt, and Turkic-speaking Bashkir,
Tatar-Mishary, and Chuvash) and typed with 10 autosomal STR markers: TH01, CSF1P0,
FGA, vWA, D3S1358, TPOX, D16S539, D8S1179, D13S317, FES. The groups differentiate
in allele frequencies, and therefore we computed θ-values between allele frequencies in each ethnic groups and those in the database
as a measure of their differentiation. Nevertheless, the Volga-Ural ethnic groups
form a relatively compact cluster that greatly deviate from the Romanic Moldovans
and the Turkic Yakuts, taken for comparison, and are closer to the Slavic Russians,
Belarusians, and Ukrainians, although significantly differ from those as well.
