Given that the Austro-Asiatic linguistic family is considered to be the oldest and spoken by certain tribes in India, Northeast India' and entire Southeast Asia, we expect that populations of this family from Northeast India should provide the signatures of genetic link between Indian and Southeast Asian populations. In order to test this hypothesis, we analyzed mtDNA and Y-Chromosome SNP and STR data if the eight groups of the Austro-Asiatic Khasi from Northeast India and the neighboring Garo and compared with that of other relevant Asian populations. The results suggest that the Austro-Asiatic Khasi tribes of Northeast India represent a genetic continuity between the populations of South and Southeast Asia, thereby advocating that northeast India could have been a major corridor for the movement of populations from India to East/ Southeast Asia. � 2007 Reddy et al. | Source Title: | PLoS ONE | URI: | https://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/161862 | ISSN: | 19326203 | DOI: | 10.1371/journal.pone.0001141 | Rights: | Attribution 4.0 International |
