title: Allele frequencies of 15 STRs in the Calchaqui Valleys population (North-Western Argentina).
abstract: Allele frequencies for 15 short tandem repeat (STR) loci were obtained from a sample of 110 individuals from the Calchaqui Valleys population (North-Western Argentina). The combined power of exclusion and combined power of discriminating for the 15 tested STR loci were 0.999964 and 0.9999999999999998, respectively. Matching probability was 1 in 4.58 × 10(15). Therefore, it may be concluded that the set of 15 STRs included in the AmpF STR Identifiler kit, represents a powerful tool for forensic applications, paternity testing and population genetics studies in the Calchaqui Valleys population.
