Abstract The fascinating genetic architecture of today’s Indian population is the result of thousands of years of population mixing and eventual isolation. The Coorgs are one such small and religiously/socioculturally homogeneous community in Karnataka, India, whose origins and demographic history are much debated due to their stark sociocultural contrast with surrounding populations. Here, we analyzed Coorgs using both autosomal (n = 70) and uniparental markers (n = 144).

Abstract South Asian populations are genetically well stratified due to multiple waves of migration, admixture events, and endogamy. India remains a rich resource for population genomics studies with many small and socioculturally homogeneous communities whose origins and demographic histories are largely unknown.
