C-da, Thank you for the rare compliment , I am blushing :-) Umesh *Chan Mahanta <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>* wrote: Good job Umesh! Very perceptive of you to notice that. On that basis, one might hope, you will also see what a bunch of garbage the Editorial was. I have noticed you are reading much better these days . The other day when you pointed out to Ram how WISHING ULFA away was silly; I thought WOW, Umesh is thinking , unlike all our brilliant Kharkhowas in this forum :-). c-da At 5:48 AM -0700 5/31/07, umesh sharma wrote: Dilip-da, That is interesting but not new: ***Consistent with geography and with the analysis in Figure 2<http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?artid=1713257&rendertype=figure&id=pgen-0020215-g002>A, among the Indian populations, populations from the northwest part of India, including the Kashmiri and Punjabi groups, had the greatest similarity to the populations from Europe and the Middle East. Populations from eastern India, including the Assamese and Bengalis, had the greatest similarity to the populations from East Asia. The only population whose* Fst* values within India substantially overlapped those of either Europe/Middle East or East Asia was the Parsi population.* Fst* values for the Parsis were similar within India and with populations from Europe and the Middle East, in agreement with their likely origins and their similar membership in the blue and red clusters in Figure 2<http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?artid=1713257&rendertype=figure&id=pgen-0020215-g002>A (52.4% for the blue cluster, 45.3% for the red cluster). In general,* Fst*between pairs of populations within India did not show a strong correlation with geographic distance (Figure 6<http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?artid=1713257&rendertype=figure&id=pgen-0020215-g006>). The correlation was greater when excluding pairs involving the Parsi population, but remained considerably smaller than has been seen for other sets of worldwide populations [20<http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?tool=pubmed&pubmedid=17194221#pgen-0020215-b020> ,21<http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?tool=pubmed&pubmedid=17194221#pgen-0020215-b021> ].

When we met Pragna Patel she spoke eloquently on the subject of genetic variations. During our conversation, she expected variation among the Indian genetic samples. However as the study says Indian samples form one group and there is not much variation in the group. If you want more information on the subject, please contact Pragna directly. Dilip Deka P.S. This is purely a scientific study in genes and diseases. Do not mix it with political discussions that frequent this net, though the Hindustan Times attempts to do so. =============================================================== *Pragna Patel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>* wrote: Subject: Study that you participated in Date: Tue, 29 May 2007 23:57:33 -0700 From: "Pragna Patel" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Dear Study Participant, The study on Genetic variation in Indians that you participated in was published and it was the subject of an Editorial in Hindustan Times.
