Abstract
The first comparison of mitochondrial variations in sables from captive
and natural populations of the Urals, Central Siberia, Yakutia,
Kamchatka, and Japan has been performed. The object of comparative
analysis was a 427-bp 5' fragment of the mitochondrial control region,
including the D-loop. Two main haplogroups of the sable mitochondrial
genome have been found, which provides new data for reconstruction of
the spread of the sable over its current range. Asymmetry of the
haplotype abundances in the captive populations of sables has been
detected. The mitochondrial haplotypes characteristic of sable breeds
have been identified. The possible role of the frequent mitochondrial
haplotypes of the captive population in the sable adaptation to the
conditions of captivity is discussed.
