Haplotype diversity of 17 Y-str loci in an admixed population from the Brazilian Amazon

Haplotype diversity of 17 Y-str loci in an admixed population from the Brazilian Amazon

The allelic and haplotype frequencies of 17 Y-STR loci most commonly used in forensic testing were estimated in a sample of 138 unrelated healthy males from Macapá, in the northern Amazon region of Brazil. The average gene diversity was 0.6554 ± 0.3315. 134 haplotypes of the 17 loci were observed, 1...
