Re: [Assam] Fwd: Study that you participated in
Dilip-da, That is interesting but not new: ***Consistent with geography and with the analysis in Figure 2A, among the Indian populations, populations from the northwest part of India, including the Kashmiri and Punjabi groups, had the greatest similarity to the populations from Europe and the Middle East. Populations from eastern India, including the Assamese and Bengalis, had the greatest similarity to the populations from East Asia. The only population whose Fst values within India substantially overlapped those of either Europe/Middle East or East Asia was the Parsi population. Fst values for the Parsis were similar within India and with populations from Europe and the Middle East, in agreement with their likely origins and their similar membership in the blue and red clusters in Figure 2A (52.4% for the blue cluster, 45.3% for the red cluster). In general, Fst between pairs of populations within India did not show a strong correlation with geographic distance (Figure 6). The correlation was greater when excluding pairs involving the Parsi population, but remained considerably smaller than has been seen for other sets of worldwide populations [20,21].

However as the study says Indian samples form one group and there is not much variation in the group. If you want more information on the subject, please contact Pragna directly. Dilip Deka P.S.
