title: Allele frequencies for 15 STR loci in Ovambo population using AmpFlSTR Identifiler Kit.
abstract: Allele frequencies of 15 short tandem repeat (STR) loci D8S1179, D21S11, D7S820, CSF1PO, D3S1358, TH01, D13S317, D16S539, D2S1338, D19S433, vWA, TPOX, D18S51, D5S818, and FGA were determined in unrelated individuals in the Ovambo population from Namibia (n=195). Amplification was performed using AmpFlSTR Identifiler Kit. For each locus 6-20 alleles were observed. For all 15 loci, the combined matching probability is 3.3x10(16) and the power of exclusion is 99.99986%. AmpFlSTR Identifiler detection system is a valuable tool for individual identification in Ovambo population.
