STR allelic frequencies in a German skeleton collection.
Chromosomal DNA was isolated from bones from a German skeleton collection (Goslar, 18th century) and detected by PCR. Nine microsatellite regions were amplified by multiplex reactions using the AmpFlSTR Profiler Plus kit and analysed to obtain their allelic distribution. A statistical evaluation of the results revealed no allelic differentiation between the historic sample and a modern German one at each locus.
