Allelic Variation and Haplotype Structure of the Dopamine Receptor Gene DRD2 in Naga Tribes of Manipur, India

The present study investigates the extent of genetic affinities and to trace their evolutionary history among the three Naga tribal groups of Manipur. Three DRD2 markers were screened among 200 individuals belonging to different Naga tribal (Rongmei=60, Inpui= 78, and Liangmai=62) groups using three sites (TaqI B, TaqID, and TaqIA) on the dopamine receptor D2 (DRD2) gene through allele and hapl...

Yaws in Manipur

A new species of Psilorhynchus (Teleostei: Psilorhynchidae) from the Chindwin basin of Manipur, India.

Psilorhynchus chakpiensis, new species, is described from the Chakpi River, Chindwin basin in Manipur, India. It is distinguished from its congeners by a combination of characters: a dome-shaped rostral cap with horizontally arranged pointed tubercles, 1-2 rows of prominent globular papillae behind the upper lip, three unbranched and nine branched dorsal-fin rays, 30-31 lateral-line scales, hea...

Chromosomal Abnormalities in Rats after Bamboo Flowering in Manipur, India

The famine and bamboo flowering are closely related in North-East India. Bamboo flowering causes population explosion of the rat population. The cytological analysis of metaphase from bone marrow cells through karyotype, C-band and Ag-NOR show chromosomal changes like monosomy, trisomy, robertsonian fusion etc. besides 2n=24. How the exploded population gets stabilized is a big question. One hy...

A new loach of the genus Physoschistura Bănărescu & Nalbant (Teleostei: Nemacheilidae) from Chindwin basin, Manipur, India

The paper describes Physoschistura tigrinum, a new nemacheilid from the Chindwin basin in Manipur, India. The new species is distinguished from congeners in having 91⁄2 branched dorsal-fin rays; 12–14 irregularly arranged light reddish brown bars on the side, some of which are broken into blotches and short bars; 5–6 dark brown saddles; forked caudal fin with 9+8 branched rays; axillary pelvic ...
