Abstract
Analysis the of cytochrome b gene (1140 b.p.) polymorphism and polymorphism of 79 specimens of the control region (934 b.p.) of mtDNA of the Siberian roe deer Capreolus pygargus from 23 regions of Russia and Kazakhstan has been carried out. The combined alignment of two fragments of mitochondrial DNA revealed 36 haplotypes, which are distributed in three haplogroups. The net distance was 0.8, 1.3, and 1.3%. The specific pattern of haplogroups was described for roe deer of each region (Ural, trans-Ural, Eastern Siberia, Far East, Northeastern China). Unrelated haplogroups were found in populations of the Urals and Siberia. The variation pattern and spatial distribution of mitochondrial lines allowed us to suggest that a haplogroup that initially belongs to C. p. tianschanicus occurs secondarily in C. p. pygargus.
