Maternal Origins and Haplotype Diversity of Seven Russian Goat Populations Based on the D-loop Sequence Variability
The territory of modern Russia lies on the crossroads of East and West and covers various geographical environments where diverse groups of local goats originated. In this work, we present the first study on the maternal origin of Russian local goats, including Altai Mountain (<i>n</i> =...

In this work, we present the first study on the maternal origin of Russian local goats, including Altai Mountain (<i>n</i> = 9), Dagestan Downy (<i>n</i> = 18), Dagestan Local (<i>n</i> = 12), Dagestan Milk (<i>n</i> = 15), Karachaev (<i>n</i> = 21), Orenburg (<i>n</i> = 10), and Soviet Mohair (<i>n</i> = 7) breeds, based on 715 bp D-loop mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequences. Saanen goats (<i>n</i> = 5) were used for comparison. Our findings reveal a high haplotype (HD = 0.843–1.000) and nucleotide diversity (π = 0.0112–0.0261). A total of 59 haplotypes were determined in the Russian goat breeds, in which all differed from the haplotypes of the Saanen goats. The haplotypes identified in Altai Mountain, Orenburg, Soviet Mohair, and Saanen goats were breed specific. Most haplotypes (56 of 59) were clustered together with samples belonging to haplogroup A, which was in accordance with the global genetic pattern of maternal origin seen in most goats worldwide. The haplotypes that were grouped together with rare haplogroups D and G were found in the Altai Mountain breed and haplogroup C was detected in the Soviet Mohair breed. Thus, our findings revealed that local goats might have been brought to Russia via various migration routes. In addition, haplotype sharing was found in aboriginal goat populations from overlapping regions, which might be useful information for their official recognition status.https://www.mdpi.com/2076-2615/10/9/1603goatlivestockmtDNAlocal breedshaplogroupphylogeny |

The territory of modern Russia lies on the crossroads of East and West and covers various geographical environments where diverse groups of local goats originated. In this work, we present the first study on the maternal origin of Russian local goats, including Altai Mountain (<i>n</i> = 9), Dagestan Downy (<i>n</i> = 18), Dagestan Local (<i>n</i> = 12), Dagestan Milk (<i>n</i> = 15), Karachaev (<i>n</i> = 21), Orenburg (<i>n</i> = 10), and Soviet Mohair (<i>n</i> = 7) breeds, based on 715 bp D-loop mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequences. Saanen goats (<i>n</i> = 5) were used for comparison. Our findings reveal a high haplotype (HD = 0.843–1.000) and nucleotide diversity (π = 0.0112–0.0261).
