Population data on the expanded CODIS core STR loci for eleven populations of significance for forensic DNA analyses in the United States

Allele distributions for twenty-three autosomal short tandem repeat (STR) loci - D1S1656, D2S441, D2S1338, D3S1358, D5S818, D7S820, D8S1179, D10S1248, D12S391, D13S317, D16S539, D18S51, D19S433, D21S11, D22S1045, CSF1PO, FGA, Penta D, Penta E, SE33, TH01, TPOX and vWA - were determined in Caucasians, Southwestern Hispanics, Southeastern Hispanics, African Americans, Bahamians, Jamaicans, Trinidadians, Chamorros, Filipinos, Apaches, and Navajos. The data are included in the FBI PopStats software for calculating statistical estimates of DNA typing results and cover the expanded CODIS Core STR Loci required of U.S. laboratories that participate in the National DNA Index System (NDIS).
