Allele frequencies of sixteen STRs in the population of Northern Portugal

Frequency data for the STR locus SE33 in a population sample from Brescia (northern Italy)

“…As expected, the preliminary results in the distribution of allelic and genotypic frequencies in our population sample are close to those found in the Caucasian population [4,6,7]. On 90 individuals, a total of 32 different alleles and 70 different genotypes were found.…”

Allelic frequencies of the 15 STR loci included in the AmpFlSTR® Identifiler™ PCR Amplification Kit in an autochthonous sample from Spain

“…Five of these populations are of the Mediterranean area: Northern Portugal [22], Italy [17], Kosovo Albanian [23], Northern Greece [24] and Greek Cypriot [25], and one of Northern Poland, Baltic area [26]. The obtained results indicate that the seven populations are genetically very similar.…”

Allele frequencies of 6 STR loci (TH01, TPOX, CSF1PO, D13S317, D16S539 and D7S820) in São Tomé e Príncipe (West Africa)

“…A neighbor-joining tree was constructed based upon the 6 STR allele frequencies in our sampled population and from populations from Central Portugal (Manco et al, 2007(Manco et al, /2008, North Portugal (Pinheiro et al, 2005), Madeira , Azores (Velosa et al, 2002), Cabinda (Beleza et al, 2004), Mozambique , Equatorial Guinea (Alves et al, 2005) and Guinea-Bissau (Gonçalves et al, 2002) (Figure 1). Figure 1.…”

“…Allele frequencies from Cabinda (Beleza et al, 2004), Mozambique , Equatorial Guinea (Alves et al, 2005) and Guinea-Bissau (Gonçalves et al, 2002) were used for genetic differentiation tests with São Tomé e Principe population sample, applying the Bonferroni correction for multiple tests (Hochberg, 1988). A neighbor-joining tree was constructed using the PHYLIP3.5c software package (Felsenstein, 1993) based on Reynolds Genetic distance (Reynolds et al, 1983) with a bootstrap of 10000 resamples, using population data from different Portuguese regions, Central Portugal (Manco et al 2007(Manco et al -2008, North Portugal (Pinheiro et al, 2005), Madeira , Azores (Velosa et al, 2002), and from other African populations, Cabinda (Beleza et al, 2004), Mozambique , Equatorial Guinea (Alves et al, 2005) and Guinea-Bissau (Gonçalves et al, 2002).…”
