Descrição

The first population-genetics study for the world newest independent country, East Timor, is presented. In this preliminary work, part of a major ongoing study on East-Timor genetic diversity, the allele frequencies and some statistical parameters of forensic interest were determined for the 15 loci included in AmpFLSTR Identifiler(TM) genotyping kit. A total of 107 samples, collected from East Timorese of several linguistic groups, was typed. All markers are in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (except for D2S1338 and D5S818, but the deviations do not reach significance after Bonferroni correction). Observed heterozigosities varied between 72% (D5S818) and 92% (D8S1179). http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/B7581-4C4WDDP-2C/1/5b98ffa63ebd1a09995c673adac67a3c
