The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the Goldeneye 20A system (containing 19 short tandem repeats) can avert the shortage of duo parentage tests. Among routine cases typed by the Identifiler system, we identified 42 motherless cases, 2 fatherless cases, and 34 trio cases containing 1 locus mismatch and 4 motherless cases with 2 locus mismatches. One true trio case was rejected by fatherhood testing because of the omission of the mother's genotype and because the genotype of the putative father matched that of the child.

Nine polymorphic STR loci in the HLA region in the Shaanxi Han population of China

H. B. Zhang, Wei, S. G., Yu, B., Li, L., and Lai, J. H., “Nine polymorphic STR loci in the HLA region in the Shaanxi Han population of China”, vol. 11, pp. 2534-2538, 2012.

A large number of microsatellite genetic markers have been identified in the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) region. We investigated genetic polymorphism of the nine short tandem repeat (STR) loci (D6S276, MOGCA, D6S265, MIB, D6S273, G51152, TAP1CA, RING3CA, and D6S291) in the HLA region in the Shaanxi Han population. Using a fluorescence-labeled multiplex-PCR STR typing method, 6-13 alleles were detected in these nine STR loci in 150 unrelated Han Chinese from the region of Shaanxi, China. The distributions of the genotypes at these nine loci were in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.

Allelic frequencies and statistical data obtained from 15 STR loci in a population of the Goiás State

T. C. Vieira, Silva, D. M., Gigonzac, M. A. D., Ferreira, V. L., Gonçalves, M. W., and da Cruz, A. D., “Allelic frequencies and statistical data obtained from 15 STR loci in a population of the Goiás State”, vol. 12. pp. 23-27, 2013.

Due to the miscegenation of the Brazilian population, the central region of Brazil was colonized by internal migration of individuals from different origins, who contributed to the genetic diversity existing in this population. The purpose of this study was to estimate population parameters based on the allele frequencies for 15 polymorphic autosomal short-tandem repeat (STR) loci present in the population of the State of Goiás in the central region of Brazil, and to compare the results with those of others from different Brazilian populations.

Development of microsatellite markers for the endangered Neotropical tree species Tibouchina papyrus (Melastomataceae)

M. P. C. Telles, Peixoto, F. P., Lima, J. S., Resende, L. V., Vianello, R. P., Walter, M. E. M. T., and Collevatti, R. G., “Development of microsatellite markers for the endangered Neotropical tree species Tibouchina papyrus (Melastomataceae)”, vol. 10, pp. 321-325, 2011.

We isolated and characterized 12 microsatellite loci for Tibouchina papyrus (Melastomataceae), an endangered species with narrow and disjunct range, endemics to a few localities in “cerrado rupestre” from Central Brazil. These microsatellites were obtained by sequencing of a genomic shotgun library for primer design. Leaves from 96 individuals collected in the three known local populations were genotyped using the 12 primers designed to analyze the polymorphisms at each locus. The number of alleles per locus ranged from one to six; two loci were monomorphic.
