Abstract excerpt
Allele frequencies for 15 short tandem repeats (STR) loci were obtained from a sample of 2038 individuals undergoing paternity testing. The population is from Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The loci are the most commonly used in forensic and paternity testing, being analysed by the AmpFlSTR Identifiler (Applied Biosystems) commercial kit. The most polymorphic locus was D2S1338. Mutation rates were ascertained from...
