We developed a multiplex panel of 62 X chromosome SNPs (XSNPid) genotyped by multi-locus PCR and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry.
Four native North Eurasian populations (Buryat, Kazakh, Khakas and Khanty) demonstrate high level of genetic diversity and relatively low but significant level of genetic differentiation.
The XSNPid panel exhibits a very high discriminating power in each population.
