Allelic proportions of 16 STR loci—including the new European Standard Set (ESS) loci—in a Swiss population sample

Abstract

Allele frequencies and forensically relevant population statistics of 16 STR loci, including the new European Standard Set (ESS) loci, were estimated from 668 unrelated individuals of Caucasian appearance living in different parts of Switzerland. The samples were amplified with a combination of the following three kits: AmpFlSTR® NGM SElect™, PowerPlex® ESI17 and PowerPlex® ESX 17. All loci were highly polymorphic and no significant departure from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and linkage equilibrium was detected after correction for sampling.

Beyond simple kinship and identification: aDNA analyses from a 17th-19th century crypt in Germany

“…They highlight specific issues (both false positives and false negatives) that prevent the confirmation of second-degree kinship or even full siblingship. We used allele frequencies estimated from 668 unrelated individuals of Caucasian appearance living in different parts of Switzerland [60]. The Swiss Fig.…”
