Bases de datos de STRs en Argentina: consideraciones para su utilización en casos forenses y de paternidad / STRs (Short Tandem Repeats) database in Argentina: considerations for its employement in forensic cases and paternity

ABSTRACT

The employmento fo genetic markers to study paternity and criminalistics requires the development of a database with allelic frequencies that allows an statistic evaluation of the results obtained. With the objective to determine if in Argentina could be possible to use a general database for forensic detrminations, we analyze the results of the typing of 15 Short Tandem Repeats (STRs) markers, used at present by the international scientific community in studies related to paternity and criminalistic. The results obtained in this study are described and discussed
