title: Autosomal STR genetic variation in negroid Chocó and Bogotá populations.
abstract: Genetic data for eight autosomal STRs were obtained from two different population samples from Colombia: the European Mestizo population of Bogotá and the African descent population of the Chocó region. The STRs were analysed in a multiplex system that includes the STR markers CSF1PO, TPOX, TH01, VWA, D13S317, D7S820, D16S539 and D5S818. Separation of the fragments and fluorescent detection was carried out in an ABI 310 DNA sequencer and the typing was made by comparison with sequenced allelic ladders. Exact tests were used for testing linkage between the loci and for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. Significant differences were found between both populations for all the loci.
