Abstract:
This study reports the evaluation of the STR locus D1S1171 (GDB: 312934) for forensic purposes, which was investigated by PCR amplification and native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in 141 unrelated Austrians. No deviations from Hardy-Weinberg expectations were observed. The mean exclusion chance (MEC) was 0.677, the discriminating power (DP) was 0.951 and the observed heterozygosity rate was 0.853. An allelic ladder consisting of 10 sequenced alleles (96-132 bp) was constructed. Sequence analysis revealed a GAAA repeat motif. According to the number of tetranucleotide repeats the smallest allele was designated 9 and the largest allele 18.

Comparing Copy Number Variations and SNPs
Copy number variations or CNVs are the structural variations that cover more than 1kb of DNA sequence. The single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), on the other hand, is a single nucleotide change or a point mutation that is found in more than 1%...
