This article presents genotype profile data (dnaloci.txt) in African-Americans, U.S. Caucasians, Hispanics, Bahamians, Jamaicans, and Trinidadians for the 13 core short tandem repeat (STR) loci.

Abstract

In addition, profile data are provided for the African-American, U.S. Caucasian, and Hispanic samples that were previously typed for the loci HLA-DQA1, LDLR, GYPA, HBGG, D7S8, Gc, and D1S80. The materials, methods, and results of the population studies are described in another publication. The 13 STR loci selected for use in the Combined DNA Index System (CODIS) are CSF1PO, FGA, TH01, TPOX, vWA, D3S1358, D5S818, D7S820, D8S1179, D13S317, D16S539, D18S51, and D21S11. Recently, these 13 STR loci were typed in sample populations of African-Americans, U.S. Caucasians, Hispanics, Bahamians, Jamaicans, and Trinidadians. These data may prove useful for forensic applications and population genetic studies. 8 references
