Impact of population size on population genetic analysis of Short Tandem Repeat (STR) allelic data, forensic and paternity parameters and its effect on forensic DNA analysis.

Abstract excerpt

The selection of an appropriate STR allelic frequency database is the prerequisite for assessing the evidentiary value of DNA evidence. Four data sets comprising 50, 100, 200, and 500 samples were evaluated in 21 autosomal STR markers in the Indian and the Bahrain population. Allelic richness showed an increasing trend with the increase in sample size i.e., 193 and 201 (50 samples), 217 and 221 (100 samples), 255...
