Abstract
This study reports the mitochondrial DNA haplogroup M diversity in two tribal populations of South India. The aim of this study was to analyze and establish a mitochondrial profile to know the genetic origin and relatedness of people of India. MtDNA variability of the complete mitochondrial genome was analyzed by the Sanger sequencing method. Our results revealed novel sub-lineages of haplogroup: M2, M3, M6, M35, M65, and an M* lineage, indicating a deep in-situ origin and spread of haplogroup M lineages in India, shared with many tribal and caste populations.
