Abstract
Analysis of D-loop of mitochondrial DNA of 4 populations of Mongolian horses from different origin was conducted. Nowadays Mongolian horses massive is divided to several countries. Among them there are Mongolia, Inner Mongolia part of China, and Kalmyk Republic of Russia. D-loop of mitochondrial DNA gives an inside into the maternal lines of population of horses. I was stated, that maternal lines of 4 populations from different territories have their similarities, as well as differences. More investigations are in need to understand, if similarities can be explained by the same origin of the populations, or due to other horse breeds, involved into the breed’s genesis.
Highlights
Since 2006 Kalmyk horse population was investigated using classical techniques, such as phenotype description of animals
Mongolian horses of Inner Mongolia in China were divided from the main population later
This is getting more and more interesting to investigate, what happened to the genotype of Kalmyk horses since genetic division, so, we decided to compare genome of contemporary Kalmyk horses with the genome of Mongolian horse from the territory of Mongolia and Inner Mongolia
Summary
Since 2006 Kalmyk horse population was investigated using classical techniques, such as phenotype description of animals. Kalmyk horses population was divided from the main massive of Mongolian horses of Mongolia more than 400 years ago, together with the migration of people [1,2], since that Kalmyk horse obtained blood of Russian aborigine and European horse breeds, but still keeps main features of Mongolian horses. Mongolian horses of Inner Mongolia in China were divided from the main population later. Today, this is getting more and more interesting to investigate, what happened to the genotype of Kalmyk horses since genetic division, so, we decided to compare genome of contemporary Kalmyk horses with the genome of Mongolian horse from the territory of Mongolia and Inner Mongolia
