Abstract

Objectives:

To derive and experiment validate the probability of exclusion （PE） formulas in the cases of standard triplet parentage testing.

Methods:

The formulas were derived voluntarily based on the PE definition: [Formula: see text]. This formula was compared with the 5 formulas （1）-（5） reported previously, and the PE values of 19 autosomal STR loci in AGCU EX20 system were calculated. Based on 1 000 samples of single-parentage cases and 1 000 unrelated individuals, the real experiment was designed and the real experiment results of PE were calculated. Ten million pairs of simulated biological mother and son and 10 million random individuals were gained by random simulation method, and the simulated experiment was designed and the simulated values of PE were calculated. In 19 STR loci, the sum of all allele frequency （S） was calculated, and the formula values of PE were compared with the values of real and simulated experiments.

Results:

If S=1, the calculation values of formula （1）, （2）, （5） and （6） were quite the same, which accord with the double verification of real and simulated experiments. If S≠1, there was a minor error in the calculation results of formula （1）, （2）, （5） and （6）, while which had a large error in formula （3） and （4）.

Conclusions:

The formula （6） derived in present study and the classical formulas （1）, （2） and （5） can be applied to the standard triplet parentage testing. The S value has a certain influence on PE calculation.

Chi-square Analysis

Chi-square Analysis

The chi-square test is a statistical hypothesis test. It is used to check whether there is a significant difference between an expected value and an observed value. In the context of genetics, it enables us to either accept or reject a hypothesis, based on how much the observed values deviate from the expected values.
The chi-square test was developed by Pearson in 1990.
The first step of performing a Chi-square analysis is to establish a null hypothesis, which assumes that there is no real...

Trihybrid Crosses

Trihybrid Crosses
Some of Mendel’s crosses examined three pairs of contrasting characteristics. Such a cross is called a trihybrid cross. A trihybrid cross is a combination of three individual monohybrid crosses. For example, plant height (tall vs. short), seed shape (round vs. wrinkled), and seed color (yellow vs. green).
The F1 generation plants of a trihybrid cross are heterozygous for all three traits and produce eight gametes. Upon self-fertilization, these gametes have an equal...

Hardy-Weinberg Principle

Hardy-Weinberg Principle

Diploid organisms have two alleles of each gene, one from each parent, in their somatic cells. Therefore, each individual contributes two alleles to the gene pool of the population. The gene pool of a population is the sum of every allele of all genes within that population and has some degree of variation. Genetic variation is typically expressed as a relative frequency, which is the percentage of the total population that has a given allele, genotype or phenotype.

Law of Segregation

Law of Segregation

When crossing pea plants, Mendel noticed that one of the parental traits would sometimes disappear in the first generation of offspring, called the F1 generation, and could reappear in the next generation (F2). He concluded that one of the traits must be dominant over the other, thereby causing masking of one trait in the F1 generation. When he crossed the F1 plants, he found that 75% of the offspring in the F2 generation had the dominant phenotype, while 25% had the recessive phenotype.
