The Y-chromosome haplogroup C3*-Star Cluster (revised to C2*-ST in this study) was
proposed to be the Y-profile of Genghis Khan. Here, we re-examined the origin of C2*-ST …

The Y-chromosome haplogroup C2c1a1a1-M407 is a predominant paternal lineage in
Mongolic-speaking populations, especially in Buryats and Kalmyks. However, the origin and …

To verify the possibility that the Y-chromosome C3* star-cluster attributed to Genghis Khan
and his patrilineal descendants is relatively frequent in the Kereys, who are the dominant …

In previous studies, a specific paternal lineage with a null value for the Y-chromosome short
tandem repeat (Y-STR) marker DYS448 was identified as common among Mongolic-and …

Human Y-chromosome haplogroup C2b-F1067 is one of the dominant paternal lineages of
populations in Eastern Eurasia. In order to explore the origin, diversification, and expansion …

Abstract The Mongol Empire had a significant role in shaping the landscape of modern
populations. Many populations living in Eurasia may have been the product of population …

A large part of Y chromosome lineages in East European and East Asian human
populations belong to haplogroup (hg) NO, which is composed of two sister clades N-M231 …

To investigate the structure of Y chromosome haplogroups R-M207 and Q-M242 in human
populations of North Asia, we have performed high-resolution genotyping using both single …

We have identified a Y-chromosomal lineage that is unusually frequent in northeastern
China and Mongolia, in which a haplotype cluster defined by 15 Y short tandem repeats was …

Background: Previous studies have suggested that the human Y-chromosome haplogroup
Q1a1a-M120, a widespread paternal lineage in East Asian populations, originated in South …
