Abstract

Here we report the genomic history of Gurjars and framed the useful set of autosomal STRs for Gujjar population. We designed this study with a total number of 215 Gurjars from district Saharanpur (previously known as Gujarat due to presence of many Gujjar zamindars), Moradabad, Bulandshahr, Ghaziabad, Meerut, Noida and NCR Delhi. Locus SE33 was found the most polymorphic and discriminating marker for Gujjar population while locus TPOX is the least. Ancestral information of Gurjars was revealed by comparing the Gujjar's population data with 19 neighbouring populations. In Neighbor Joining (NJ) tree Gurjars were found closer to Gujjars of Jammu region, population of Rajasthan and Uttarkhand, due to the same stock of gene pool.
