“…Wen et al (Wen et al, 2021) found that the Northwest Chinese Kyrgyz showed a high percentage of Y haplogroup R1a1a1b2a2a-Z2125, which is related to Bronze Age Siberians, while the second dominant haplogroup was C2b1a3a1-F3796, related to Medieval Niru'un Mongols, such as the Uissun tribe from Kazakhs. Again, Wen et al (Wen et al, 2020) found that the Kazakh population from China showed the highest frequency (80%) of haplogroup C2b1a3a1-F3796 (previous C3*-Star Cluster) which is predominantly found in Mongolian descendent populations. Wang et al (Wang et al, 2019) found that the Hui population has about 70% in total of the paternal ancestry which could be traced back to East Asia and the left 30% to various regions in West Eurasia.…”

The Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of China (XUARC) harbors almost 50 ethnic groups including the Uyghur (UGR: 45.84%), Han (HAN: 40.48%), Kazakh (KZK: 6.50%), Hui (HUI: 4.51%), Kyrgyz (KGZ: 0.86%), Mongol (MGL: 0.81%), Manchu (MCH: 0.11%), and Uzbek (UZK: 0.066%), which make it one of the most colorful regions with abundant cultural and genetic diversities. In our previous study, we established allelic frequency databases for 14 autosomal short tandem repeats (STRs) for four minority populations from XUARC (MCH, KGZ, MGL, and UZK) using the AmpFlSTR® Identifiler PCR Amplification Kit. In this study, we genotyped 2,121 samples using the GoldenEye™ 20A Kit (Beijing PeopleSpot Inc., Beijing, China) amplifying 19 autosomal STR loci for four major ethnic groups (UGR, HAN, KZK, and HUI). These groups make up 97.33% of the total XUARC population. The total number of alleles for all the 19 STRs in these populations ranged from 232 (HAN) to 224 (KZK). We did not observe any departures from the Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) in these populations after sequential Bonferroni correction. We did find minimal departure from linkage equilibrium (LE) for a small number of pairwise combinations of loci. The match probabilities for the different populations ranged from 1 in 1.66 × 1023 (HAN) to 6.05 × 1024 (HUI), the combined power of exclusion ranged from 0.999 999 988 (HUI) to 0.999 999 993 (UGR), and the combined power of discrimination ranged from 0.999 999 999 999 999 999 999 983 (HAN) to 0.999 999 999 999 999 999 999 997 (UGR). Genetic distances, principal component analysis (PCA), STRUCTURE analysis, and the phylogenetic tree showed that genetic affinity among studied populations is consistent with linguistic, ethnic, and geographical classifications.

“…Affiliation of haplotypes to haplogroups was assessed using Nevgen Y-DNA haplogroup predictor ( https://www.nevgen.org/ ) and by comparing haplotypes from published data. The analysis incorporated an extensive dataset, which included 3306 haplotypes for minimum 17 Y-STRs from existing studies on population samples of Kazakhs [7] , [8] , [9] , [10] , [11] , [12] , [13] , [14] , [15] , [16] , [17] . In the search for similar haplotypes, the study employed the Haplomatch tool [18] to analyze Y-chromosome STR haplotypes.…”

“…Many previous studies have suggested extensive genetic admixture between East and West Eurasians in northwest China (Ning et al, 2019; Wang et al, 2019, 2021; Adnan et al, 2020, 2021; Wen et al, 2020; Zhao et al, 2020; He et al, 2021; Ma et al, 2021; Yang et al, 2021; Yao et al, 2021; Zhang et al, 2021), but a few focus on Tajiks. A 2018 paper by Min‐Sheng Peng et al used mitochondrial genome analysis to understand the maternal origin of multiple ethnic groups on the Pamir Plateau.…”

Chinese Tajiks are an Indo‐Iranian‐speaking population in Xinjiang, northwest China. Although the complex demographic history has been characterized, the ancestral sources and genetic admixture of Indo‐Iranian‐speaking groups in this region remain poorly understood. We here provide the genome‐wide genotyping data for over 700 000 single‐nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and mtDNA multiplex sequencing data in 64 Chinese male Tajik individuals from two dialect groups, Wakhi and Selekur. We applied principal component analysis (PCA), ADMIXTURE, f‐statistics, treemix, qpWave/qpAdm, Admixture‐induced Linkage Disequilibrium for Evolutionary Relationships (ALDER), and Fst analyses to infer a fine‐scale population genetic structure and admixture history. Our results reveal that Chinese Tajiks showed the closest affinity and similar genetic admixture pattern with ancient Xinjiang populations, especially Xinjiang samples in the historical era. Chinese Tajiks also have gene flow from European and Neolithic Iran farmers‐related populations. We observed a genetic substructure in the two Tajik dialect groups. The Selekur‐speaking group who lived in the county had more gene flow from East Asians than Wakhi‐speaking people who inhabited the village. These results document the population movements contributed to the influx of diverse ancestries in the Xinjiang region.
