Abstract

We conducted a study of 182 unrelated adult individuals belonging to Bhuiyan population resident of Eastern India in order to estimate genetic polymorphism by using 20 autosomal STR loci. The results obtained from this study were compared with the published data of Indian and neighbouring countries’ populations. This research study is expected to contribute significantly to forensic investigations for human identification and parentage testing.
