Abstract:
When profiling a reference dataset of 500 DNA samples for the population of Saudi Arabia, using the GlobalFiler® PCR amplification kit, six unusual alleles were detected. At the SE33 locus, four novel alleles were found: 2, 14.3, 20.3, and 38; two alleles at the D1S1656 locus: 7 and 8 had been previously reported, but no published sequence data was available. The D1S1656 alleles were sequenced using ForenSeq™ DNA Signature Prep with the MiSeq FGx System (Illumina, USA). As the SE33 is not reported by available Massively Parallel Sequencing (MPS) systems, samples that exhibited the unreported alleles were sequenced using BigDye™ Terminator v3.1 Cycle Sequencing Kit. Here we present the sequence and structure of the previously uncharacterized alleles.

Unusual Results
According to the range rule of thumb, any value above or below two standard deviations, 2σ from the mean, μ is considered unusual.
Maximum unusual value =...
z Scores and Unusual Values
This score indicates how far a value is from the mean in terms of standard deviation. For example, if a data value has a z score of +1, the researcher can infer that the particular data value is one standard deviation above the mean. If another data...
Lethal Alleles
Lucien Cuénot discovered lethal alleles in 1905 while studying the inheritance of coat color in mice. The agouti gene is responsible for the color of the coat in mice. This gene codes for an agouti-signaling protein, which is responsible for melanin distribution in mammals. The wild-type allele gives rise to gray-brown coat color in mice, while the mutant allele gives rise to yellow coat color. In addition to coat color, the agouti gene is associated with the yellow...
