Abstract
Genetic markers for the prediction of biogeographical ancestry have proved to be effective tools for law enforcement agencies for many years now. In this study, we attempted to assess the potential of insertion-deletion markers (InDel) and microsatellites (STRs) as subsidiary polymorphisms for inference of Slavic population ancestry. For that purpose, we genotyped Slavic-speaking populations samples from Belarus, the Czech Republic, Poland, Serbia, Ukraine and Russia in 46 InDels and 15 STRs by PCR and capillary electrophoresis and analyzed for between-population differentiation with the use of distance-based methods (FST, principal component analysis and multidimensional scaling). Additionally, we studied a sample from a Polish individual of well-documented genealogy whose biogeographic ancestry had previously been inferred by commercial genomic services using autosomal single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), mitochondrial DNA and Y-SNP markers. For comparative purposes, we used genotype data collected in the “forInDel” browser and allele frequencies from previously published papers. The results obtained for InDels and STRs show that the Slavic populations constitute a genetically homogeneous group, with the exception of the Czechs differing clearly from the other tested populations. The analysis of the known Polish sample in the Snipper application proves the usefulness of the InDel markers on the continental level only. Conversely, microsatellites not only improve prediction, but are also informative if considered as an independent set of ancestry markers.
Weryfikacja markerów insercyjno-delecyjnych (InDels) i mikrosatelitarnych (STR) jako narzędzi pomocniczych do wnioskowania o pochodzeniu populacji słowiańskiej
Markery genetyczne do przewidywania pochodzenia biogeograficznego od wielu lat okazują się skutecznymi narzędziami dla organów ścigania. W tym badaniu podjęliśmy próbę oceny potencjału markerów insercyjno-delecyjnych (InDel) i mikrosatelitarnych (STR) jako pomocniczych polimorfizmów do wnioskowania o pochodzeniu populacji słowiańskiej. W tym celu genotypowaliśmy próbki populacji słowiańskojęzycznych z Białorusi, Czech, Polski, Serbii, Ukrainy i Rosji w w zakresie 46 markerów InDel oraz 15 loci STR za pomocą PCR i elektroforezy kapilarnej oraz analizowaliśmy pod kątem różnicowania między populacjami za pomocą metod bazujących na dystansach genetycznych (FST, analiza głównych składowych i skalowanie wielowymiarowe). Dodatkowo zbadaliśmy próbkę mężczyzny z populacji polskiej o dobrze udokumentowanej genealogii, którego pochodzenie biogeograficzne zostało wcześniej ustalone przez komercyjne usługi genomiczne przy użyciu autosomalnych polimorfizmów pojedynczych nukleotydów (SNP), mitochondrialnego DNA i markerów Y-SNP. Do celów porównawczych wykorzystaliśmy dane genotypowe zebrane w przeglądarce „forInDel” i częstości alleli z wcześniej opublikowanych artykułów. Uzyskane wyniki dla InDels i STR wskazują, że populacje słowiańskie stanowią grupę genetycznie jednorodną, z wyjątkiem Czechów wyraźnie różniących się od pozostałych badanych populacji. Analiza znanej polskiej próbki w aplikacji Snipper dowodzi przydatności markerów InDel jedynie na poziomie kontynentalnym. Z kolei, mikrosatelity nie tylko poprawiają wyniki predykcji, ale są informatywne jako niezależny zestaw markerów pochodzenia biogeograficznego.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tetranucleotide Short Tandem Repeats (STRs) for human identification and common use in forensic cases have recently been used to address the population genetics of the North-Eastern Mediterranean area. However, to gain confidence in the inferences made using STRs, this kind of analysis should be challenged with changes in three main aspects of the data, i.e. the sizes of the samples, their distance across space and the genetic background from which they are drawn. AIM To test the resilience of the gradients previously detected in the North-Eastern Mediterranean to the enlargement of the surveyed area and population set, using revised data. SUBJECTS AND METHODS STR genotype profiles were obtained from a publicly available database (PopAffilietor databank) and a dataset was assembled including >7000 subjects from the Arabian Peninsula to Scandinavia, genotyped at eight loci. Spatial principal component analysis (sPCA) was applied and the frequency maps of the nine alleles which contributed most strongly to sPC1 were examined in detail. RESULTS By far the greatest part of diversity was summarised by a single spatial principal component (sPC1), oriented along a SouthEast-to-NorthWest axis. The alleles with the top 5% squared loadings were TH01(9.3), D19S433(14), TH01(6), D19S433(15.2), FGA(20), FGA(24), D3S1358(14), FGA(21) and D2S1338(19). These results confirm a clinal pattern over the whole range for at least four loci (TH01, D19S433, FGA, D3S1358). CONCLUSIONS Four of the eight STR loci (or even alleles) considered here can reproducibly capture continental arrangements of diversity. This would, in principle, allow for the exploitation of forensic data to clarify important aspects in the formation of local gene pools.

Abstract
Allele frequencies and forensically relevant population statistics of 22 short tandem repeat (STR) loci were determined from 303 unrelated Estonian individuals. The samples were amplified with three kits: the AmpFlSTR(®) Identifiler, the PowerPlex(®) ESI 16 and the PowerPlex(®) 16. No significant deviation from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium was detected, except for locus D22S1045. Investigated loci are very discriminating in Estonian population, with a combined discrimination power of 0.9999999999999999999999999877. Furthermore, a comparison with previously published frequency data from other nearby populations is presented.
