STR Allele Frequencies from Bosnia and Herzegovina

Description

Population allele frequency data for 16 autosomal Short Tandem Repeat (STR) markers from Bosnia and Herzegovina. These frequencies are particularly relevant for identification of missing persons from the Balkan conflicts.

Usage

data(BosniaHerz)

Format

A data frame with 63 rows (alleles) and 17 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 16 STR markers: D1S1656, D2S1338, D2S441, D3S1358, D8S1179, D10S1248, D12S391, D16S539, D18S51, D19S433, D21S11, D22S1045, FGA, SE33, TH01, VWA.

These markers correspond to the European Standard Set (ESS) of forensic STR loci. This database is particularly important for the ongoing identification efforts related to the Balkan wars.
