Abstract:
The present study aimed to investigate the genetic and forensic attributes of Uttarakhand population based on 20 autosomal STR loci implemented in PowerPlex® 21 System. Results unveiled 219 alleles ranging from 6 (TH01, TPOX) to 20 (Penta E). Forensic analysis revealed locus Penta E as the most polymorphic and discriminative loci, whereas genetic analysis indicated presence of higher heterozygosity within population. Phylogenetic analysis indicated higher genetic affinity of Uttarakhand population with the neighbouring Himachal Pradesh population. Overall, the study indicates that the PowerPlex® 21 System is suitable for genetic and forensic analysis in Uttarakhand population.
