A genomic exploration of 15 autosomal STR loci for establishment of a DNA profile database of the population of Himachal Pradesh.

In order to create an autosomal STR loci population database for Himachal Pradesh, 259 blood samples were taken from people residing in various regions of the state and AmpFlSTR® Identifiler® Plus PCR amplification kit was used for evaluation of 15 autosomal STR markers. A total of 149 alleles were investigated in this study with a mean allele number of 9.933 per locus.

Haplotype data for 17 Y-STR loci in the population of Himachal Pradesh, India.

We report here the data of Y chromosome haplotypes of 259 unrelated males from the population of Himachal Pradesh, India, using the Yfiler® multiplex kit. A total of 188 haplotypes were detected, out of which 148 were unique. Three samples showed bi-allelic pattern on locus DYS448.

This study was undertaken to assess the antifertility effect of hydroalcoholic leaves extract of Linn. which is traditionally used by the woman in Rajasthan state of India to regulate the fertility. The antifertility activity of the extract at dose levels (200 and 400 mg/kg, orally) was evaluated in two experimental animal models.
