摘要
Dear Editor,Short tandem repeats(STRs),polymorphic DNA regions with a variable number of repeated units(2–6 base pairs),are attractive to forensic applications such as human identification and parentage testing[1].Nowadays,most of the commercial STR kits are designed based on STRs from the combined DNA index system(CODIS),European Standard Set(ESS),expanded CODIS,and extended ESS[2].In this study,we evaluated 21 STRs from GoldeneyeTM DNA ID 22NC kit(PeopleSpot Inc.,Beijing,China),which including 20 polymorphic non-CODIS STR loci(i.e.D1S1656,D2S441,D3S1744,D3S3045,D4S2366,D5S2500,D6S477,D7S1517,D7S3048,D8S1132,D10S1248,D10S1435,D11S2368,D13S325,D14S608,D15S659,D17S1290,D18S535,D19S253,D22GATA198B05)and a CODIS STR locus(D3S1358),in five ethnic groups(i.e.Eastern Han,Ningxia Hui,Xinjiang Uygur,Xizang Tibetan,and Inner Mongolia Mongolian)of China.The forensic genetic investigation of above loci may provide more genetic information in complex kinship testing and population studies[3,4].
