title: [Develop a statistics analysis software in population genetics using VBA language].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To develop a statistics analysis software that can be used in STR population genetics for the purpose of promoting and fastening the basic research of STR population genetics.
  
  
  METHODS
  Selecting the Microsoft VBA for Excel, which is simple and easy to use, as the program language and using its macro function to develop a statistics analysis software used in STR population genetics.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The software "Easy STR Genetics" based on VBA language, by which the population genetic analysis of STR data can be made, were developed.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The developed software "Easy STR Genetics" based on VBA language, can be spread in the domain of STR population genetics research domestically and internationally, due to its feature of full function, good compatibility for different formats of input data, distinct and easy to understand outputs for statistics and calculation results.
