We have analysed nine autosomal STR loci (D3S1358, vWA, FGA, D8S1179, D21S11, D18S51, D5S818, D13S317, D7S820) in Goud and Padmashali populations belonging to Chittoor and Cuddapah districts of Andhra Pradesh, India, respectively. This... more
We have analysed nine autosomal STR loci (D3S1358, vWA, FGA, D8S1179, D21S11, D18S51, D5S818, D13S317, D7S820) in Goud and Padmashali populations belonging to Chittoor and Cuddapah districts of Andhra Pradesh, India, respectively. This data was compared with the available data on Indian populations. Heterozygosity (H), power of discrimination (PD), probability exclusion (PE), typical paternity index (TPI), polymorphism information content (PIC), exact test with Bonferroni corrections and Arlequin analysis were carried out. Average heterozygosity observed in Goud and Padmashali populations were 0.82 and 0.81, respectively. Similarly, PD, PE, TPI and PIC have been found to be almost same between these two populations. Overall data analysis suggests the existence of sub-structuring in Indian populations.

History has well documented the execution of Queen Ketevan of Georgia by the Persian Emperor of modern day Iran. Based on historical records, in 1624 two Augustinian friars unearthed the queen's remains and one of them brought the relic to the St. Augustine convent in Goa, India. We carried out ancient DNA analysis on the human bone remains excavated from the St. Augustine convent by sequencing and genotyping of the mitochondrial DNA. The investigations of the remains revealed a unique mtDNA haplogroup U1b, which is absent in India, but present in Georgia and surrounding regions. Since our genetic analysis corroborates archaeological and literary evidence, it is likely that the excavated bone belongs to Queen Ketevan of Georgia.
