Genetic Characteristics of mtDNA and STR marker in Human Bone Excavated from Mokgam-dong, Siheung in Korea

We performed nuclear DNA typing and mitochondrial DNA sequencing analysis based on PCR from an ancient Korean remainsexcavated from Siheung in Korea. 7 bones were collected and partially STR(short tandem repeat) systems, Sex determination Amelogenin kit(Promega co, USA), were used in this study. Mitochondrial DNAs were also amplified and sequenced by ABI 310 DNA sequencer. We know that sample no. 2 and no. 3 were females and also sample no. 2 and no.7 possessed the same maternal inheritance by mitochondrial DNA sequencing results. Throughout this research, the mitochondrial DNA sequencing of human in the middle of Joseon Dynasty in Korea is obtained. In addition, this finding will be an important foundation for the future research.
