Haplotype and allele frequencies of 12 X-STRs included in the Investigator Argus X-12 kit are reported for 255 individuals, representing four Western Mediterranean populations: Valencia (eastern mainland Spain) and the Balearic Islands (Majorca, Minorca, and Ibiza). Ibiza shows the lowest intra-population variability and the highest level of linkage disequilibrium together with an important genetic distance with regard to the geographically close populations, which is consistent with the historical evidence for long-term demographic isolation and its different matrilineal background.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
