Abstract

The 13 short tandem repeat (STR) loci D3S1358, vWA, FGA, D16S539, TH01, TPOX, CSF1PO, D8S1179, D21S11, D18S51, D5S818, D13S317 and D7S820 as well as the amelogenin locus, contained in AmpFlSTR Profiler Plus and/or AmpFlSTR Cofiler and/or AmpFlSTR Green I PCR amplification kits, were studied in four populations from the Iberian Peninsula, Basques, Catalans, Andalusians and Portuguese and two North African populations (Moroccan Arabs and Berbers). The aim of the study was to obtain accurate allele frequency data and other genetic parameters of forensic interest on the main representative human groups living in Iberia and Morocco using an automated method and commercial amplification kits.
