A genetic overview of Atlantic coastal populations from Europe and North-West Africa based on a 17 X-STR panel
2017, Forensic Science International: GeneticsCitation Excerpt :Additionally, the pairwise FST genetic distances among the above-mentioned populations and six more collected from the bibliography, typed with the decaplex of the GHEP-ISFG [4,5], were calculated. The following populations were selected by its nearby location to the Atlantic Coast in the Iberian Peninsula: northern and central regions of Portugal [5], Asturias [15], Cantabria [5], Pas Valley (Cantabria) [16], and autochthonous Basques from Navarre [17]. For this calculation, only the coincident markers between the decaplex of the GHEP-ISFG [4,5] and the 17 X-STR panel [6] (DXS8378, DXS9902, DXS7132, DXS9898, DXS6809, DXS6789, DXS7133, GATA172D05, GATA31E08, and DXS7423) were considered.
Forensic Spanish allele and haplotype database for a 17 X-STR panel
2016, Forensic Science International: GeneticsCitation Excerpt :Up to now, X-STR allele frequencies have been studied in different populations of Spain with the decaplex of the GHEP-ISFG (Murcia [7,8], autochthonous Basques from Navarre [9], Galicia [6], Cantabria [6], and north-east of Spain [10]) and with the Investigator™ Argus X-12 Kit (Zamora [11], Valencia [12], and Balearic Islands [12]). Actually, a unique Iberian allele frequency database for the markers of the decaplex of the GHEP-ISFG is available [1]. Recently, a new 17 X-STR panel in a single PCR reaction has been developed by our group [13] that allows the creation of a more extended database for the Spanish population.
A grave in my garden. Genetic identification of Spanish civil war victims buried in two mass graves in Espinosa de los Monteros (Burgos, Spain)
2015, Forensic Science International: Genetics Supplement SeriesCitation Excerpt :MtDNA sequences were edited as [8]. Statistical kinship calculations based on Likelihood ratios (LRs) for autosomal STRs were carried out using GFF v.2.55 [9], using allele frequencies of the Spanish population (GHEP Collaborative Exercise, 2014), and for X-STRs an Iberian frequency database was applied [10]. Y chromosome and mtDNA LRs were calculated based on haplotype frequencies obtained in the YHRD and EMPOP databases.
Digging up the recent Spanish memory: Genetic identification of human remains from mass graves of the Spanish Civil War and posterior dictatorship
2015, Forensic Science International: GeneticsCitation Excerpt :MtDNA and Y-STR haplotype frequency was assessed through EMPOP (EDNAP Mitochondrial DNA Population Database) [35] and YHRD (Y-STR Haplotype Reference Database) [36] databases, respectively. X-STR statistics were calculated based on an allele frequency database for the Spanish population [37]. A total of 252 post-mortem remains from 26 mass graves in the north of Spain were genetically studied with identification purposes.
