STR Allele Frequencies from Europe

Description

Population allele frequency data for 23 autosomal Short Tandem Repeat (STR) markers from European populations. These pan-European frequencies are useful for general European cases or when country-specific data is unavailable.

Usage

data(Europe)

Format

A data frame with 97 rows (alleles) and 24 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 23 STR markers: D1S1656, D2S1338, D2S441, D3S1358, D5S818, D7S820, D8S1179, D10S1248, D12S391, D13S317, D16S539, D18S51, D19S433, D21S11, D22S1045, CSF1PO, FGA, Penta D, Penta E, SE33, TH01, TPOX, VWA.

These frequencies represent a pooled European dataset suitable for general forensic applications across Europe.

Source

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