Y-chromosome STR haplotypes from a Western Mediterranean population sample

Nine Y-chromosome STRs were investigated in a male population sample from the Western Mediterranean region of Valencia (Eastern Spain). Complete nine Y-chromosomal STRs haplotypes were obtained in 140 individuals, among which 113 different haplotypes were observed. The most common haplotype was shared by 5% of the sample, while 99 haplotypes were unique. The gene diversity was 0.9892 and the discrimination capacity was 0.8071. Significant population differences were observed with respect to other Iberian populations, such as the Basques and Northern Portugueses.

Genetic data of 10 X-STRs in a Spanish population sample

In this work, we present population genetic data of 10 X-chromosome STRs (DXS8378, DXS9898, DXS8377, HPRTB, GATA172D05, DXS7423, DXS6809, DXS7132, DXS101 and DXS6789) obtained from sample of 145 unrelated female individuals belonging to Valencia (Spain), a region located in the east of the Iberian Peninsula. All the markers studied present high genetic diversities, similar to those previously reported in other European population samples. No deviations from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium were observed, with the exception of DXS101 locus. Allele frequencies and parameters of forensic interest for each X-STR were calculated. High mean exclusion chance and power of discrimination values were obtai…

Signature of recent historical events in the European Y-chromosomal STR haplotype distribution

Previous studies of human Y-chromosomal single-nucleotide polymorphisms (Y-SNPs) established a link between the extant Y-SNP haplogroup distribution and the prehistoric demography of Europe. By contrast, our analysis of seven rapidly evolving Y-chromosomal short tandem repeat loci (Y-STRs) in over 12,700 samples from 91 different locations in Europe reveals a signature of more recent historic events, not previously detected by other genetic markers. Cluster analysis based upon molecular variance yields two clearly identifiable sub-clusters of Western and Eastern European Y-STR haplotypes, and a diverse transition zone in central Europe, where haplotype spectra change more rapidly with longi…

Data for nine autosomal STRs markers from Valencia (East Mediterranean coast of the Iberian Peninsula)

Nine STRs loci have been typed in a sample from Valencia, a population from the East Mediterranean coast of the Iberian Peninsula.

Factores que afectan al análisis biológico de las muestras de agresiones sexuales

El concepto multidisciplinar de Ciencias Forenses se ha consolidado en los últimos años integrando un amplio espectro de profesionales de distintas disciplinas que ha abierto nuevas áreas de trabajo, en la mayoría de las cuales la interpretación del resultado se basa en la comparación con un material de referencia. Este trabajo pretende exponer brevemente una revisión de la casuística de Delitos Contra la Libertad Sexual (DCLS) estudiados en los laboratorios de Biología Forense y evaluar el rendimiento de la prueba de ADN a lo largo de los años en dos aspectos: uno en las situaciones inherentes a la metodología y otro en lo que respecta al cotejo de los vestigios analizados con las muestras…

Study of eight novel Y-chromosome STRs in a sample from Valencia (East of Spain): analysis of gene and haplotypes frequencies

Because of the great interest in Y-chromosome polymorphisms not only in the forensic field but also in evolutionary studies, the number of described Y-chromosome markers has been increased considerably in the recent literature. During the last few years, new Y-chromosome polymorphisms have been described, including binary polymorphisms, microsatellites and minisatellites. In this study, eight recently described tetranucleotide microsatellites have been analysed: DYS434, DYS437, DYS439, Y-GATA A7.1, Y-GATA A7.2, Y-GATA A.10, Y-GATA C4 and Y-GATA H4. Gene and haplotype frequencies have been estimated in the Valencian population, to determine highly informative haplotypes, using these new Y-ST…
