Abstract: | Background A large number of microsatellites have been extensively used to comprehend the genetic diversity of different global groups.
This paper entails polymorphism at 15 STR in four predominant and endogamous populations representing Karnataka, located on
the southwest coast of India. The populations residing in this region are believed to have received gene flow from south Indian
populations and world migrants, hence, we carried out a detailed study on populations inhabiting this region to understand
their genetic structure, diversity related to geography and linguistic affiliation and relatedness to other Indian and global
migrant populations. |
