Analysis of 16 Y-chromosomal STRs in a Cartagena (Colombia) population sample

摘要

We studied and established a data base of 16 Y-STR (DYS19, DYS385, DYS389I/II, DYS390, DYS391, DYS392, DYS393, DYS437, DYS438, DYS439, DYS460, DYS461, GATA-A10, GATA-H4 and DYS635) in a population of 173 unrelated males of Cartagena (Colombia) and some parameters of forensic importance were calculated The haplotype diversity was 1 000 + 0 0006. This approach represents a very powerful tool for individual identification and paternity testing in forensic medicine.
