Abstract

Allele frequencies for 15 STRs (CSF1PO, D3S1358, D5S818, D7S820, D8S1179, D13S317, D16S539, D18S51, D21S11, FGA, Penta D, Penta E, THO1, TPOX, and vWA) in the PowerPlex 16 System (Promega Corporation) were assessed in 386 individuals from five Russian urban populations. No significant between-population differences in frequencies and molecular variance of 15 microsatellites were revealed. For all 15 loci, the combined matching probability is 3.19 × 10−18 and the power of exclusion is 99.99989%.

    Current standard sets of DNA identity markers adopted in the United States (CODIS, Combined DNA Index System) and in Europe (European Standard Set) provide high and generally sufficient power of individual identification (MP = 3–5 × 10−16) [17]. In our previous work, it was shown that a set of 15 STR loci also provides a very high probability of discrimination of unrelated individuals in native populations of Russia (MP = 3.04 × 10−15–1.56 × 10−17) [15,18]. However, low multiplexing capacity and complexity of genotyping of STR loci, coupled with recent advances in sequencing and genotyping technologies obviously will lead to the replacement of STR markers by more simple and informative systems [2–4].

    Thus, the new kit is a valuable forensic tool and is suitable to extend the Korean population genetic data obtained with the two conventional kits. A population comparison based on the DSA values calculated from allele frequencies of the 17 STR markers in the AmpFlSTR Identifiler® and the PowerPlex® 16 kits, except for the amelogenin locus between the Korean population and other published populations is shown in supplementary Table S1 [18–47]. MDS plot of DSA based on the result of Table S1 is depicted in Fig. 1.
