@article{Vijaya2008GeneticSO, title={Genetic study of scheduled caste populations of Tamil Nadu}, author={M. Vijaya and S. Kanthimathi and A. Ramesh}, journal={Journal of Genetics}, year={2008}, volume={87}, pages={171-174} }
The present study aims to describe the genetic structure ofthe scheduled caste populations in Tamil Nadu state, and toassess their relationships with contemporary people of dif-ferent socio-economic groups of the state. We have stud-ied eight human-specific indels (insertion/deletion polymor-phisms) in DNA samples from five Tamil Nadu caste groupsusing phylogeneticand principal component analysis (PCA),and compared the data with earlier data on the three othercaste groups of the state.
