Abstract: We studied ancient individuals buried in the Yinniugou cemetery of Inner Mongolia by molecular biological methods. We obtained five sequences of the hypervariable region Ⅰ (HVS-Ⅰ) of the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) control region and primarily assigned the sequences into haplogroups A,B,D,C or Z, respectively. A phylogenetic tree and a two-dimensional MDS plot were constructed based on pairwise FST values (calculated from mtDNA HVS-Ⅰ sequence data) between the Yinniugou population and 16 relative modern populations. The results show the affinity of the ancient population with eastern Asian populations in matrilineal lineage.

Key words: mitochondrial DNA, ancient DNA, phylogenetic analysis
