“…Recientemente se han publicado los perfiles genéticos de numerosas poblaciones americanas (1-4), europeas (5)(6)(7)(8) y asiáticas (9). A partir del inventario de las frecuencias alélicas de los diferentes loci que afectan la coloración, patrón y la longitud del pelaje se ha logrado establecer hipótesis de migración histórica a través del mundo.…”

Objectives. Establish the genetic profiles of cats from 12 neighboring municipalities in southwestern Colombia, in a town course from Pereira-Popayán. Estimate the degree of diversity, genetic structure, and quantify gene flow. Materials and methods. Were inventoried the phenotypic markers present in the pigmentation and structure of the coat of 1482 cats of the municipalities surveyed. Based on these phenotypic frequencies, allele frequencies, heterozygosity, Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, F statistics and Nei genetic distances were calculated. A comparison was also made between genetic and geographic distance matrices to determine if there was a significant association between the two. Results. With the genetic profiles of the populations we estimated the degree of diversity. We found the populations in equilibrium for the S autosomal locus and for the O sex-linked locus. We found a low level genetic structure, and it was determined that there was no significant correlation between the genetic and geographic distance matrices among populations. Conclusions: These findings can be explained on the basis of the processes of human displacement for this region, due to the fact that the establishment of feline populations in these municipalities originated during the same historical period. Identical genetic profiles are shared as a result of colonization events, and due to possible continued migration among these populations.Key Words: Historical migration, pigmentation genes, population genetics, regional scale (Source: CAB, DeCS). RESUMENObjetivos. Determinar los perfiles genéticos de los gatos de 12 municipios contiguos del suroccidente colombiano en un trayecto Pereira-Popayán; estimar el grado de diversidad, estructura genética y cuantificar el flujo de genes. Materiales y métodos. Se inventariaron los marcadores fenotípicos presentes en la pigmentación y estructura del pelaje de 1482 gatos de los municipios estudiados, con base en estas frecuencias fenotípicas se calcularon frecuencias alélicas, heterocigosidad, equilibrio Hardy-Weinberg, el estadístico F ST y distancias genéticas de Nei. También se realizó una comparación entre matrices de distancia genética y geográfica para determinar si existía asociación significativa entre 5391 las dos. Resultados. Con los perfiles genéticos de las poblaciones se estimó el grado de diversidad, se halló en equilibrio Hardy-Weinberg a las poblaciones para el locus autosómico S y el locus ligado al sexo O. Se encontró bajo nivel de estructura genética y se determinó que no existe correlación significativa entre las matrices de distancia genética y geográfica entre poblaciones. Conclusiones. Estos hallazgos se pueden explicar con base en los procesos de desplazamiento humano para esta región, debido a que el establecimiento de poblaciones felinas en estos municipios se originó en el mismo período histórico. Se comparten perfiles genéticos idénticos como resultado, posiblemente, de eventos de colonización y migración continua entre estas poblaciones.Palabras clave: esca...

“…Recently, the genetic profiles of numerous American (1-4), European (5)(6)(7)(8) and Asian (9) populations have been published. Based on an inventory of the allelic frequencies of the various loci that affect the color, pattern and length of the coat, we have been able to establish a hypothesis of historical migration through the world.…”

“…In this situation, the present territory of Russia remains scarcely studied. In total, the data on gene frequencies are currently available for 21 cities and settlements of the Russian Federation [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. Byk ovskaya and Tsios [14] reported the domestic cat phe notype frequencies in the population of Ussurisk (Pri morsky krai).…”

Frequencies of mutant alleles that control coat color of domestic cats were determined in popu lation of the city of Kamyshin, Volgograd oblast. Intermediate position of the population with respect to the O and t b mutant gene frequencies was demonstrated. These data were consistent with the idea on the existence of the so called corridor of low frequencies of the first gene and the zone of absence of the second gene. One of the highest frequencies of gene d was recorded. The frequencies of the other genes were in the ranges observed in other populations.

28This work has started as a project for the summer school in molecular and theoretical 29 biology. Efficient teaching and learning modern methods of molecular biology and population 30 genetics in a two-week study course for high school students needs an attractive subject. We 31 chose phylogeography of the domestic cat as the subject of our project because 1) everybody 32 likes cats; 2) cats are polymorphic for several coat color mutations, which can be easily detected 33 by street survey or in the photographs; 3) samples for DNA extraction are easy to collect without 34 posing ethical and biosafety problems; 4) rich background information of geographical 35 distribution of coat color alleles and variation in mtDNA is available; 5) phylogeography of cat 36 population in Russia is poorly studied and therefore new data collected in this large territory 37 may shed a light on the global cat distribution and on the origin of the fancy breeds. 38During the project students studied coat color and mitotype distribution across Russian 39 random bred cats. The basics of field (observations of natural cat populations, hair collection), 40 formal (inheritance of coat colors), mathematical population (allele frequency distributions and 41 their comparisons, building phylogenetic trees, multidimensional scaling), and molecular 42 (DNA extraction and amplification, quality control of DNA sequencing data) genetics were 43 covered. 44We scored coat color phenotypes in 1182 cats and sequenced mtDNA control region 45 from hair samples of 38 cats from 18 geographical sites. Analysis of coat color alleles 46 frequencies and mitotype distribution confirmed relative homogeneity of gene pools of Russian 47 cat populations, indicating their recent origin. We found several unique mitotypes and 48 demonstrated that OL1 mitotype, previously found only in Siberian fancy breed, was present in 49 random bred cats from several Russian cities. This contributes to the discussion on the origin 50 of the Siberian breed of cats, and supports the view that Siberians is a recent breed created in 51
