Abstract

Genotyping of highly polymorphic short tandem repeat (STR) markers is widely used for the genetic identification of individuals in forensic DNA analyses and in paternity disputes. The National DNA Profile Databank recently esta-blished by the DNA Identification Act in Korea contains the computerized STR DNA profiles of individuals convicted of crimes. For the establishment of a large autosomal STR loci population database, 1805 samples were obtained at random from Korean individuals and 15 autosomal STR markers were analyzed using the AmpFlSTR Identifiler PCR Amplification kit. For the 15 autosomal STR markers, no deviations from the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium were observed. The most informative locus in our data set was the D2S1338 with a discrimination power of 0.9699. The combined matching probability was 1.521 x 10-17. This large STR profile dataset including atypical alleles will be impor-tant for the establishment of the Korean DNA database and for forensic applications.

COVER PICTURE
Lee et al. (pp. 757-763), show that disruption of ANKS1A promotes the entry of intraflagellar transport trains into cilia, increasing protein transport and forming extracellular vesicles (ECVs). This figure illustrates the abundance of ECVs along the cilia of primary ependymal cells derived from ANKS1A KO mice.
