Genetic Diversity and Forensic Utility of X-STR Loci in Punjabi and Kashmiri Populations: Insights into Population Structure and Ancestry.

Abstract excerpt

Background: X-chromosomal short tandem repeats (X-STRs) are crucial in forensic applications, particularly in complex kinship cases, and play an important role in population genetics. However, there is limited data on X-STR variation in Pakistani populations, especially among ethnic groups like Kashmiri and Punjabi.
