Abstract
The analysis of genetic variation, in the short tandem repeats of Y-Chromosomal DNA, provides unique information on the genetic diversity of the population. The 20 typed Y-STRs are highly polymorphic and aid in human identification. An extremely informative Y-STR core set (minimal and extended haplotype), approved for court use by the forensic and scientific community (7) as well as validated by DAB/TWAGDAM (8) was chosen fro typing-DYS19, DYS389I,DYS389II, DYS390, DYS391, DYS392, DYS393, DYS385I/II and YCAII. Along with these STRs, an additional set of 9 highly polymorphic loci were chosen for typing namely DYS426, DYS388, DYS439, DYS437, DYSH4, DYS460, DYS447, DYS438 and DYS448 by an in-house developed novel Twentyplex PCR reaction. This study characterizes the the Y-STR haplotypes in 136 tribal individuals, belonging to the Austro, Asiatic linguistic family of Chotanagpar Plateau, India
