Summary: | Over a few past decades, theoretical, analytical, and methodological advances in genetics have revolutionized population genetic research, providing a better understanding of evolutionary processes and the history of populations and species. Methodologically, this progress is largely due to the invention of polymerase chain reaction technology and the introduction of microsatellite DNA markers. This review discusses trends in the use of microsatellite markers as effective tools for solving a wide range of issues in population genetics, conservation and evolutionary biology of the only species of the genus Rangifer – reindeer. Based on the analysis of both experimental and review publications (78 sources) of the scientific teams of the Russian Federation, Canada, the United States of America, Ireland, Japan, China, Norway the first works on the successful amplification of reindeer microsatellites have been summarized. There has been demonstrated the significance of the data of markers for studying intra- and inter-population diversity, differentiation, genetic relationships, the impact of anthropogenic factors on genetic diversity and genetic isolation of populations, as well as for reconstructing the evolutionary history of the various reindeer forms. За последние несколько десятилетий теоретические, аналитические и методологические достижения в генетике произвели революцию в популяционно-генетических исследованиях, обеспечив лучшее понимание эволюционных процессов, истории популяций и видов. Методологически такой прогресс во многом обусловлен изобретением технологии полимеразной цепной реакции и внедрением маркеров микросателлитной ДНК. В настоящем обзоре обсуждаются тенденции в использовании микросателлитных маркеров как эффективных инструментов для решения широкого спектра задач в популяционной генетике, природоохранной и эволюционной биологии единственного вида рода Rangifer – северного оленя. На основании проведенного анализа экспериментальных и обзорных публикаций (78 источников) научных коллективов ... |
