RESUMO
Y-chromosome DNA profiles are promising tools in population genetics and forensic science. Analysis of Y-chromosome variety was performed on a total of 191 unrelated males throughout different regions in Basrah. The Y-chromosome variety was explored utilizing 17 markers system. For the uniparental system, the large majority of the haplogroups observed in the Basrah population are (R1b, E1b1b, G2a, and J1) considered to have begun in the Middle East and to have later spread all over Western Eurasia. 30% of the Y-chromosomes, in all likelihood, represent landings from inaccessible distant geographic regions. The level of haplotype diversity and its implication for statistics are evaluated. The distinctive extent of long go genetic input observed for the Y chromosome shows that gene flow events to this area might have involved mainly males.

In attempt to investigate the origin of Basrah, we examined the mitochondrial DNA(mt-DNA) variations by hypervariable segment 1(HVS1) Sequencing and determination of specific site haplogroups. In Basrah, no significant differences diversity among Iraqis' HVS1 compared with other countries. The values were within the range of gene diversity across the Middle East and exhibited the unimodal pattern of differences in the pairwise sequence. Given the small genetic differences between people living in this area, phylogenetic analysis showed a large variability of the communities of Basrah; they didn't cluster on the phylogenetic tree.
