In-situ clustering of mtDNA haplogroup M inferred from complete mitogenomes of two tribal populations of Southern India

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequences reveal maternal phylogeny to trace back the demographic histories to construct phylogeny of a population. In this study, we update the phylogeny of the autochthonous Indian-specific mtDNA haplogroup R8 to give regional relationships between the members of haplogroup R8 in India and neighbouring areas. A set of 31 complete mitogenomes sequences from a Melakudiya tribal population of Southern India revealed two subclades of R8-R8a and R8b clustered with other tribal and caste populations of India. The updated coalescence age of haplogroup R8 in South Asia is dated ~43.3 ± 8.1 Kya, subclades R8a and R8b are dated ~40.6 ± 8.8 Kya and 15.4 ± 4.3 Kya, respectively. This study updated the deep in situ distribution of Indian-specific R8 lineages and added new daughter branches to the previously described branches of the haplogroup R8 in India.

First Time

An inventory of sponges from the shallow subtidal reefs of the west and east coasts of southern India is presented. The specimens offered in this paper were based on in-situ collections unlike the previous records of dry and net-entangled collections. A total of 101 species belonging to 12 orders, 22 families, 5 subfamilies and 44 genera from 4 subclasses of Class Demospongiae and one species from Class Calcarea are recorded. We recorded 18 new records to India, six new species combinations, 37 potential new records, and 40 species for the first time from the southwest coast.
