AB  - Mitohondrijska DNK (mtDNK) se odlikuje nizom osobina koje je čine pogodnom za istraživanja evolutivne
istorije ljudskih populacija koja se zasniva na molekularnim markerima ženske linije nasleđivanja. Tokom
poslednje decenije publikovano je više naučnih radova u kojima je analizirana varijabilnost mtDNK u populaciji Srbije primenom markera različite rezolucije uključujući i kompletne genome. U skladu sa očekivanjima zasnovanim na istorijskim, arheološkim i drugim izvorima koji govore u prilog veoma kompleksne istorije populacija na Balkanskom poluostrvu, mtDNK podaci su potvrdili da se srpska populacija odlikuje visokim nivoom raznovrsnosti mtDNK koji je posledica izuzetno složene dinamike ove populacije tokom vremena. Današnji mtDNK profil populacije Srbije ne odstupa od matrilinealnog profila karakterističnog za druge evropske populacije, a genetičke distance pokazuju da ova populacija zauzima centralnu poziciju unutar grupe južnoslovenskih populacija koje se odlikuju visokom heterogenošću. Srpska populacija deli najveći procenat mtDNK haplotipova sa geografski bliskim populacijama Balkanskog poluostrva koje pripadaju južnoslovenskoj grupi, gde su uočeni i potencijalno privatni haplotipovi. Na osnovu filogenetske i filogeografske analize kompletnih mitogenoma u srpskoj populaciji detektovane su retke mtDNK linije,karakteristične za druge regione, poput Bliskog istoka (N1b, HV2), istočne Azije (D4) i Afrike (L2a1), kao i one koje su potencijalno specifične za Balkansko poluostrvo, poput K1a13a1, U4c1b1 i H6a2b. Pored toga, srpska populacija deli određeni broj mtDNK podhaplogrupa sa istočno- i zapadnoslovenskim populacijama kao i sa germanskim populacijama severne i srednje Evrope. Istraživanja varijabilnosti mtDNK su pokazala da se izuzetno velika raznovrsnost mtDNK savremene populacije Srbije može objasniti genetičkim doprinosom kako slovenskih i germanskih, tako i pre-slovenskih populacija koje su naseljavale Balkansko poluostrvo pre Velike seobe naroda.
AB  - The mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is characterized by a number of features that make it suitable for study-
ing the evolutionary history of human populations based on molecular markers with the female-specific
line of inheritance. During the last decade, several scientific papers were published in which the mtDNA
variability in the population of Serbia was analyzed using markers of different resolution including com-
plete mitogenomes. In accordance with expectations based on historical, archaeological and other sources
that speak in favor of a very complex history of populations on the Balkan Peninsula, mtDNA data con-
firmed that Serbian population is characterized by a high level of mtDNA diversity, which is a consequence
of the exceptionally complex dynamics of this population over time. Today’s mtDNA profile of the Serbian
population does not differ from the matrilineal landscape characteristic of other European populations,
and according to genetic distances, this population occupies a central position within the group of South-
Slavic populations characterized by high heterogeneity. The Serbian population shares the highest per-
centage of mtDNA haplotypes with the geographically close populations of the Balkan Peninsula
belonging to the South-Slavic group, where potentially private haplotypes were also observed. Phyloge-
netic and phylogeographic analysis of complete mitogenomes in the Serbian population revealed rare
mtDNA lines, characteristic of other regions, such as the Middle East (N1b, HV2), East Asia (D4) and Africa
(L2a1), as well as those that are potentially specific for Balkan Peninsula, like K1a13a1, U4c1b1 and H6a2b.
In addition, Serbian population shares a certain number of mtDNA subhaplogroups with East- and West-
Slavic populations as well as with the Germanic populations of Northern and Central Europe. Studies of
mtDNA variability have shown that the exceptionally high mtDNA diversity in contemporary Serbian pop-
ulation may be associated with the genetic contribution of both Slavic and Germanic, as well as pre-Slavic
populations that inhabited the Balkan Peninsula before the Great Migration.

AB  - Mitochondrial genome (mtDNA) is a valuable resource in resolving various human forensic casework. The usage of variability of complete mtDNA genomes increases their discriminatory power to the maximum and enables ultimate resolution of distinct maternal lineages. However, their wider employment in forensic casework is nowadays limited by the lack of appropriate reference database. In order to fill in the gap in the reference data, which, considering Slavic-speaking populations, currently comprises only mitogenomes of East and West Slavs, we present mitogenome data for 226 Serbians, representatives of South Slavs from the Balkan Peninsula. We found 143 (sub)haplogroups among which West Eurasian ones were dominant. The percentage of unique haplotypes was 85%, and the random match probability was as low as 0.53%. We support previous findings on both high levels of genetic diversity in the Serbian population and patterns of genetic differentiation among this and ten studied European populations. However, our high-resolution data supported more pronounced genetic differentiation among Serbians and two Slavic populations (Russians and Poles) as well as expansion of the Serbian population after the Last Glacial Maximum and during the Migration period (fourth to ninth century A.D.), as inferred from the Bayesian skyline analysis. Phylogenetic analysis of haplotypes found in Serbians contributed towards the improvement of the worldwide mtDNA phylogeny, which is essential for the interpretation of the mtDNA casework.

AB  - Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is used in forensics for over three decades and is particularly
suitable when STR profiling cannot be performed due to the degraded and/or scarce nuclear
DNA. Traditionally, mtDNA typing is based on ~600 bp of the hypervariable segments I and
II (HVS-I and HVS-II) of the control region (CR, ~1100 bp). Nowadays, it is possible to use
variability of complete mtDNAs which enables maximum resolution of distinct maternal
lineages. However, the number of complete mitogenomes in reference databases such as
EMPOP is still insufficient, and that hampers their wider usage in forensic casework. In order
to fill in the gap in the reference database, which, considering Slavic-speaking populations,
currently comprises only mitogenomes of East and West Slavs, we present population data
for 226 Serbian mitogenomes, representatives of South Slavs from the Balkan Peninsula. We
support previous findings on both high levels of genetic diversity in the Serbian population
and patterns of genetic differentiation among Serbian and ten studied European populations.
However, increased genetic differentiation was observed among Serbian and two European
populations (Russians and Poles) with our high resolution data. We demonstrate that
the inclusion of indel polymorphisms into analysis contributed towards nearly complete
resolution of mtDNA haplotypes (97.1% vs. 86.3% without indels), and that the random
match probability was as low as 0.53%. Bayesian skyline analysis of Serbian mitogenomes
revealed population expansion after the Last Glacial Maximum and during the Migration
period (IV-IX century A.D.). Phylogenetic analysis of the Serbian and relevant West Eurasian
haplotypes contributed towards the improvement of the worldwide mtDNA phylogeny to
the certain extent, which is essential for the interpretation of the mtDNA casework. Lineages
of a putative Balkan origin as well as those shared among Serbian and other European
populations were observed.
