STR Allele Frequencies from Asian Populations

Description

Population allele frequency data for 38 autosomal Short Tandem Repeat (STR) markers from Asian populations. This comprehensive dataset includes extended markers beyond core forensic loci.

Usage

data(Asia)

Format

A data frame with 98 rows (alleles) and 39 columns. First column is Allele (repeat number), remaining columns are allele frequencies for each STR marker.

Details

This dataset contains allele frequencies for 38 STR markers including both standard forensic core loci and extended markers: D1S1656, D2S1338, D2S441, D3S1358, D3S1744, D4S2366, D5S818, D5S2800, D6S474, D7S820, D7S3048, D8S1132, D8S1179, D9S1122, D10S1248, D11S2368, D12S391, D13S317, D13S325, D14S1434, D15S659, D16S539, D17S1301, D18S51, D18S1364, D19S253, D19S433, D20S482, D21S11, D21S2055, D22GATA198B05, D22S1045, CSF1PO, FGA, SE33, TH01, TPOX, VWA.
