Abstract
The results of the first analysis of the reindeer population inhabiting the south of Siberia, the Republic of Tyva (Tuva), performed by use of inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) technique, are reported. Using ISSR-PCR with two primers, a total of 71 fragments of different size were detected. Furthermore, for the population examined the indices of the mean pairwise similarity and the mean heterozygosity were calculated. The approach used can be recommended as a useful tool for the genetic diversity monitoring in population of reindeer.
