Description
C2b-MF630546 is a subclade of C2b-CTS4660 within the Tungusic-Siberian C2b1b branch. The defining marker MF630546 is a GenBank-registered Y-chromosome sequence variant identified in studies of Siberian indigenous populations. This lineage represents a fine-grained subdivision within eastern Siberian C2b diversity, distributed among Tungusic-speaking groups in the Baikal and Amur regions.
Interesting Fact
MF630546 exemplifies how modern Y-chromosome population genomics using whole-sequence data can resolve the internal structure of lineages that were previously treated as undifferentiated, revealing distinct patrilineal sub-communities within historically mobile Siberian hunter-gatherer societies.
