title: Allele frequencies of 6 autosomal STR loci in the Xibo nationality with phylogenetic structure among Chinese populations.
abstract: In the present study, we investigated the genetic polymorphisms of 6 autosomal STR loci Hum-CSF1PO, D13S317, D5S818, D16S539, TH01, and TPOX in the Xibo population of Liaoning, northeastern China as well as its genetic relationships with other populations in China. No significant deviations from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium could be found for all loci. Allele frequencies in the Xibo population ranged from 0.001 to 0.507. Among all the 6 loci, D16S539 had the highest polymorphism (PIC=0.8632), whereas TPOX had the lowest (PIC=0.5179). A phylogenic tree was constructed using Poptree 2 software. In the phylogenic tree, Xibo population has a distant relationship with the other populations.
