== Bhumihars show the highest Steppe ancestry among Brahmin groups in the 2024 genetics/DNA research - Research Paper 2 ==


The 2024 research Distinct Positions of Genetic and Oral Histories: Perspectives from India applied qpAdm modeling to find the proportions of Steppe and Onge-related (AASI or the indigenous Indian component) ancestry and '''Bhumihars of Bihar came out to have the highest Steppe ancestry (29.0%) among the Brahmin groups, more than Brahmin Tiwari (27.9%), Saryuparin Brahmins (26.1% Steppe), and West Bengal Brahmins (22.3% Steppe)'''. Their estimated Steppe ancestry was also higher than that of the sampled Rajputs (20.8% Steppe) and Khatris (26.9% Steppe).  
The 2024 research [https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666247724000447 Distinct Positions of Genetic and Oral Histories: Perspectives from India] applied qpAdm modeling to find the proportions of Steppe and Onge-related (AASI or the indigenous Indian component) ancestry and '''Bhumihars of Bihar came out to have the highest Steppe ancestry (29.0%) among the Brahmin groups, more than Brahmin Tiwari (27.9%), Saryuparin Brahmins (26.1% Steppe), and West Bengal Brahmins (22.3% Steppe)'''. Their estimated Steppe ancestry was also higher than that of the sampled Rajputs (20.8% Steppe) and Khatris (26.9% Steppe).  


Conversely, Bhumihars displayed the lowest Onge-related ancestry (20.7%) among the Brahmin groups in the dataset, lower than Brahmin Tiwari (23.4%), Saryupari Brahmins (22.8%), West Bengal Brahmins (30.6%), Rajputs (21.9%) but the Khatris (11.6%) have even lower Onge related ancestry than Bhumihars. '''Khatris showed nearly half the amount of Onge-related ancestry compared to Gangetic Brahmins and the Bihari Bhumihars'''.[[File:IMG 20260806 103606 481.png|center|thumb|Source: [https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.07.06.498959v3 Distinct positions of genetic and oral histories: Perspectives from India, 2024] |586x586px]]'''How to access this''' '''and view the above given spreadsheet from the research paper''' - Official Link: [https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.07.06.498959v3 "'''Distinct positions of genetic and oral histories: Perspectives from India, 2024"''']

Step 1) Go to the link of the research paper and navigate to the "Supplementary Materials" section, click on it, and there you'll find the '''"Supplementary Tables"''' in the form of an Excel Sheet / Spreadsheet. You have to download the table file named '''"supplements/498959_file03.xlsx"'''   
Step 1) Go to the link of the research paper and scroll down or navigate to the '''"Supplemental information"''' section, under it you'll find the '''"Download spreadsheet"''' option. You have to '''download it''' to view the entire spreadsheet file containing multiple tables.    


Step 2) Inside the spreadsheet, go to the '''table number 'S6'''' to find the spreadsheet of the ancestry '''qpAdm runs from the research posted below'''.  
Step 2) Inside the spreadsheet, go to the '''table number 'S6'''' to find the spreadsheet of the ancestry '''qpAdm runs from the research posted above'''.
