Population data of new 21 mini-InDels from Turkey

Abstract

Insertions/deletions (InDels) are a variety of polymorphisms that are observed with deletion or insertion or both, and are common in both somatic and gonosomal chromosomes. Since these loci have short amplicon lengths and have a high discrimination power when they are studied with 20-30 loci multiplexes, they are now being used as an alternative STR loci in forensic identification. In forensic sciences, sex chromosomes can be used according to the type and variety of the case. While the paternal kinship, and the relationship between father and son can be determined by using Y chromosome polymorphism, the relationship between father and daughter can be determined by the use of X chromosome polymorphism (

Assessing Population Structure Using 46 AIM-Indel (Ancestry Informative Marker-Insertion/Deletion) Panel in Türkiye: Experimental Research (Population Study)

“…9,10 There are recent studies on multiplexes including different numbers of InDel loci developed for forensic identification and inference of biogeographical ancestry. 1,6,7,[11][12][13][14][15] InDel loci that are used in inference of biogeographical ancestry are named as ancestry informative markers-InDel (AIM-InDel). Some AIM-InDel multiplexes are used alone for estimating ancestry, whereas some of them are combined with ancestry informative SNPs (AISNPs) for finer ancestry assignment.…”
