Microsatellites’ mutation modeling through the analysis of the Y-chromosomal tr...
Antão-Sousa, Sofia; Gusmão, Leonor; Modesti, Nidia M.; Feliziani, Sofía; Faustino, Marisa; Marcucci, Valeria; Sarapura, Claudia; Ribeiro, JulyanaThe Spanish and Portuguese Speaking Working Group of the International Society for Forensic Genetics (GHEP-ISFG) organized a collaborative study on mutations of Y-chromosomal short tandem repeats (Y-STRs). New data from 2225 father-son duos and data from 44 previously published reports, corresponding to 25,729 duos, were collected and analyzed. Marker-specific mutation rates were estimated for 33 Y-STRs. Althou...

Mitochondrial DNA diversity in a population from Santa Catarina (Brazil): predo...
Palencia, Leire; Valverde, Laura; Álvarez, Alejandra; Cainé, Laura; Cardoso, Sergio; Alfonso-Sánchez, Miguel A.; Pinheiro, M. FátimaThe state of Santa Catarina (Brazil) is known to have represented a cultural crossroads in South America due to several historic migrations mainly from Europe and Africa. We set out to scrutinize whether the genetic imprint of these migrations could be traced through analysis of the matrilineal gene pool of the Catarinenses. The entire control region of the mitochondrial DNA was studied in 80 healthy and matern...

Valverde, Laura; Palencia, Leire; Pinheiro, M. Fátima; Cainé, Laura; Cardoso, Sergio; Alfonso-Sánchez, Miguel A.; de Pancorbo, Marian M.The study of the hypervariable segments HVS-I and HVS-II of the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) control region of 80 healthy and maternally unrelated individuals revealed that the population from Santa Catarina is extremely heterogeneous, mainly due to the impact of relatively recent migratory waves from Europe. In spite of this, Native American lineages as well as African lineages incorporated much earlier are also ...
Analysis of 10 X-linked tetranucleotide markers in mixed and isolated populations
Zarrabeitia, María T.; Pinheiro, Fátima; de Pancorbo, Marian M.; Cainé, Laura; Cardoso, Sergio; Gusmão, Leonor; Riancho, José A.We have applied a recently described X-STRs decaplex to characterize four population groups of the Iberian Peninsula, including two well mixed populations and two relatively isolated ones from Northern Spain, in order to get a better insight about the characteristics of X-STRs in those population types between-population differences in allelic frequencies were relatively small. Nevertheless, Fst values were bet...
