STR Allele Frequencies from Argentina

Description

Population allele frequency data for 24 autosomal Short Tandem Repeat (STR) markers from Argentina. These frequencies are used for calculating likelihood ratios in forensic genetics and missing person identification.

Usage

data(Argentina)

Format

A data frame with 93 rows (alleles) and 25 columns. First column is Allele (repeat number), remaining columns are allele frequencies for each STR marker.

Details

This dataset contains allele frequencies for the following 24 STR markers: D8S1179, D21S11, D7S820, CSF1PO, D3S1358, THO1, D13S317, D16S539, D2S1338, D19S433, VWA, TPOX, D18S51, D5S818, FGA, PENTAE, PENTAD, D12S391, D1S1656, D6S1043, D10S1248, D22S1045, D2S441, SE33.

The markers are compatible with common forensic STR kits including GlobalFiler, PowerPlex Fusion, and Investigator 24plex.

Source

Allele frequency data compiled from published Argentinian population studies. Format compatible with pedtools and forrel packages.
