Sero-genetic Profile and Phylogenetic Relationships of Tribes of Rajasthan
Genetic structure and polygenetic relationship of six numerically larger endogamous tribes, Mina, Bhil, Garasia, Damor and Kathodi of Rajasthan, who exhibit varied ethnographic history, have been investigated using 12 sero-genetic polymorphic marker systems viz. A1A2BO, MNSs, Rhesus, Duffy, Lewis, Kell, Kidd, HP, TF, GPI, G6PD deficiency and HB variants. Genetic differentiation with respect to studied genes has been observed small (except for HB*…
Ecology and Health
In this paper an attempt is made to give an overview of the key elements and issues in the context of ecology and health that are increasingly causing concern. The vast population with multi-racial origin, diverse cultural, dietary and living habits, marriage laws and tradition, and the extreme variations in environment presents complexities in the study of diseases and faces a great challenge in seeking to improve their health status especially …
