To explore the genomic diversity and forensic characterization of Naga tribes, Nagaland, haplotypes for 23 Y-STR markers have been analyzed. In this study, 203 unrelated male individuals residing in the Northeast Indian state of Nagaland were selected. A total of 203 unique haplotypes were observed. The value of gene diversity (GD) and discrimination capacity (DC) was observed as 0.999999998927955 and 1 respectively. Forensic interest parameters viz., power of discrimination (PD), polymorphic information content (PIC), and matching probability (PM) were found to be 0.999999998695503, 0.999999976671191, and 1.3 × 10 respectively, for the studied population. Inter-population comparison study showed that the Naga tribes were found to have a distinct gene pool which is reflected in the neighbor-joining tree, principle coordinate analysis, and heat map. This is the first genetic study on Naga tribes based on 23 Y-STR markers. The Y chromosomal STR data will be useful for forensic DNA application and will enrich the existing Indian Y-STR database.

Nagas are a small Indigenous tribal community that inhabits the northeastern region of India. It is inhabited by seventeen recognized tribes including non-Naga tribe of Kuki and Kachari with rich cultural diversity and customary practices. Modernity has been one of the most debated topics, in this regard the paper argues on the responsibility of modernity.

Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma (NPC) found to be dependent on geographical and racial variation and is more prevalent in Northeast (NE) India. WES-based study was conducted in three states (tribes); Nagaland (Naga), Mizoram (Mizo) and Manipur (Manipuri), which provided an overview of germline variants involved inthemajor signaling pathways. Validation and recurrence assessment of WES data confirmed the risk effect of STEAP3_rs138941861 and JAG1_rs2273059, and the protective role of PARP4_rs17080653 and TGFBR1_rs11568778 variants, where STEAP3_rs138941861conferring Arg290His substitution was the only exonic non-synonymous variant and to be located in proximity to the linking region between the transmembrane and oxidoreductasedomainsof STEAP3 protein, andaffectedits structural and functional dynamics by altering the Electrostatic Potential around this connecting region.
