Population genetics of 15 AmpflSTR Identifiler loci in Macedonians and Macedonian Romani (Gypsy)

A genetic historical sketch of European Gypsies: The perspective from autosomal markers

“…1) from Eastern Slovakia (Sotá k et al, 2008), Greece (Deligiannidis et al, 2006;Sá nchez-Diz et al, 2008), Hungary (Egyed et al, 2000), Macedonia (Havas et al, 2007) and Croatia (Novokmet and Pavčec, 2007;Projić et al, 2007). As indicated in Figure 1, because of the nonuniformity of data available for the populations being compared, several rounds of comparisons were carried out with different subsets of STRs.…”

Genetic sub-structuring of Croatian island populations in the Southeastern European context: a meta-analysis

“…The samples used were the same as described in a previous article by our research group (17). Certain analyses of autosomal STR markers were conducted for the first time in this study and some are from previous research performed by various authors (9,(14)(15)(16)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28). This article integrates all these studies using the statistical and analytical method of meta-analysis, as defined by Rosenbald (29).…”

Analysis of a DNA mixture involving Romani reference populations

“…In order to compute the likelihood for each hypothesis in a DNA mixture (5) we need to compute the prior probabilities P (n H) associated with each hypothesis H by using a specific database of allele frequencies. This case concerns PoI from the Romani and Italian population, so we used the following reference population (RP) allele frequency databases: Macedonian Romani (M); Portuguese Romani (PO); Eastern Slovakian Romani (ES) (Havaš et al 2007;Gusmão et al 2010;Soták et al 2008), as well as the Italian Caucasian (IT). Table 3 shows the dimension of each of the reference population databases of allele frequencies.…”
