Genes (Basel) 2023; 14:1419. [PMID: 37510323 PMCID: PMC10379979 DOI: 10.3390/genes14071419] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/18/2023] [Revised: 07/05/2023] [Accepted: 07/07/2023] [Indexed: 07/30/2023] Open
Abstract
The Han nationality is an ancient and populous people, and different places in China may have their distinct group relationships. Luzhou area, as a crossroads of several provinces in Southwest China, lacks autosomal short tandem repeat (STR) research and population genetics research. In this study, 21 autosomal STR loci were evaluated in 1959 Han-Chinese individuals from Luzhou area. There was no substantial linkage disequilibrium (LD) among the 21 autosomal STR markers, and all markers were in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE). The total discrimination power (TDP) and cumulative probability of exclusion (CPE) of the 21 autosomal STR loci were calculated to be 1-9.8505 × 10-16 and 1-1.9406 × 10-9, respectively. There were 333 alleles for 21 STRs with allelic frequencies ranging from 0.00026 to 0.51302, and the number of alleles ranged from 7 in locus TPOX to 29 in locus Penta E. According to the results of population comparison and population differentiation, historical influences, geographical distribution, cultural integration, and economic development may have an impact on the Luzhou Han population and other Chinese populations. These 21 STR loci were found to enrich autosomal STR information in forensic databases and provide highly informative polymorphisms for our forensic practice in China, including personal identification and parentage testing.

Abstract
PowerPlex® CS7 multiplex is commonly used as a source of supplementary markers in parentage and kinship studies. We analysed a total of 687 unrelated individuals from 94 geographically different localities across all Federal Districts of the Russian Federation and provide forensically important parameters and allele frequencies. The paper also presents results of an intra-population genetic diversity study between the populations of the Federal Districts and comparison with populations from various regions of the world.

Forensic Sci Int Genet 2023; 65:102879. [PMID: 37150076 DOI: 10.1016/j.fsigen.2023.102879] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/26/2022] [Revised: 04/16/2023] [Accepted: 04/22/2023] [Indexed: 05/09/2023]
Abstract
Sequence polymorphisms were characterized at 27 autosomal STRs (A-STRs), 7 X chromosomal STRs (X-STRs), and 24 Y chromosomal STRs (Y-STRs) in 635 Northern Han Chinese with the ForenSeq DNA Signature Prep Kit on the MiSeq FGx Forensic Genomics System. Since repeat region (RR) and flanking region (FR) variation can be detected by massively parallel sequencing (MPS), the increase in the number of unique alleles and the average of gene diversity was 78.18% and 3.51% between sequence and length, respectively. A total of 74 novel RR variants were identified at 33 STRs compared with STRSeq and previous studies, and 13 FR variants (rs1770275883, rs2053373277, rs2082557941, rs1925525766, rs1926380862, rs1569322793, rs2051848492, rs2051848696, rs2016239814, rs2053269960, rs2044518192, rs2044536444, and rs2089968964) were first submitted to dbSNP. Also, 99.94% of alleles were concordant between the ForenSeq DNA Signature Prep Kit and commercial CE kits. Discordance resulted from the low performance at D22S1045 and occasionally at DYS392, flanking region deletions at D7S820 and DXS10074, and the strict alignment algorithm at DXS7132. Null alleles at DYS505 and DYS448 and multialleles at DYS387S1a/b, DYS385a/b, DYS448, DYS505, DXS7132, and HPRTB were validated with other MPS and CE kits. Thus, a high-resolution sequence-based (SB) and length-based (LB) allele frequencies dataset from Northern Han Chinese has been established already. As expected, forensic parameters increased significantly on combined power of discrimination (PD) and combined power of exclusion (PE) at A-STRs, mildly on combined PD and combined mean exclusion chance (MEC) at X-STRs, and barely on discrimination capacity (DC) at Y-STRs. Additionally, MiSeq FGx quality metrics and MPS performance were evaluated in this study, which presented the high-quality of the dataset at 20 consecutive runs, such as ≥ 60% bases with a quality score of 20 or higher (%≥ Q20), > 60% of effective reads, > 2000 × of depth of coverage (DoC), ≥ 60% of allele coverage ratio (ACR) or heterozygote balance, ≥ 70% of inter-locus balance, and ≤ 0.4 of the absolute value of observed minus expected heterozygosity (|Hexp - Hobs|). In conclusion, MiSeq FGx can help us generate a high-resolution and high-quality dataset for human identification and population genetic studies.

Hölzl-Müller P, Bodner M, Berger B, Parson W. Exploring STR sequencing for forensic DNA intelligence databasing using the Austrian National DNA Database as an example. Int J Legal Med 2021; 135:2235-2246. [PMID: 34436655 PMCID: PMC8523457 DOI: 10.1007/s00414-021-02685-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/04/2021] [Accepted: 08/12/2021] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
Here, we present the results from a population study that evaluated the performance of massively parallel sequencing (MPS) of short tandem repeats (STRs) with a particular focus on DNA intelligence databasing purposes. To meet this objective, 247 randomly selected reference samples, earlier being processed with conventional capillary electrophoretic (CE) STR sizing from the Austrian National DNA Database, were reanalyzed with the PowerSeq 46Y kit (Promega). This sample set provides MPS-based population data valid for the Austrian population to increase the body of sequence-based STR variation. The study addressed forensically relevant parameters, such as concordance and backward compatibility to extant amplicon-based genotypes, sequence-based stutter ratios, and relative marker performance. Of the 22 autosomal STR loci included in the PowerSeq 46GY panel, 99.98% of the allele calls were concordant between MPS and CE. Moreover, 25 new sequence variants from 15 markers were found in the Austrian dataset that are yet undescribed in the STRSeq online catalogue and were submitted for inclusion. Despite the high degree of concordance between MPS and CE derived genotypes, our results demonstrate the need for a harmonized allele nomenclature system that is equally applicable to both technologies, but at the same time can take advantage of the increased information content of MPS. This appears to be particularly important with regard to database applications in order to prevent false exclusions due to varying allele naming based on different analysis platforms and ensures backward compatibility.
