Ancient DNA from 181 North Eurasian foragers traces a stable west-to-east ancestry gradient and ties Yakutia_LNBA ancestry, with Y-haplogroup N, to Uralic speakers and Seima-Turbino metallurgy.

The paper analyzes mitochondrial genome diversity in the Central Siberian Plateau to trace genetic connections between the Yenisei-Sayan region and Northeast Eurasia over the last 10,000 years.

The paper reports mitochondrial DNA mutations in LHON families from Western Siberia, finding deviations from European populations and identifying potential pathogenic variants.
