摘要

In 1997, Prof. Bernd Brinkmann formulated guidelines for the submission of manuscripts on short tandem repeat (STR) population data 1. These earlier guidelines have now been extended to include haploid DNA markers, i.e. mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and Y-chromosomal polymorphisms.For specific information, see the Short Communication "Publication of population data of linearly inherited DNA markers in the International Journal of Legal Medicine" 2.All forensic population genetics papers should always contain information on the description of the population, ethical requirements and quality control.
