Abstract Allele frequencies for the nine STRs included in the AMPF`STR kit were obtained from a sample of 152 unrelated Greek Cypriot from the Mediterranean island of Cyprus # 2001 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved. Keywords: Short tandem repeats; Population data; AMPF`STR pro®ler; Greek Cypriot; Cyprus
Population: Unrelated Greek Cypriot individuals. Extraction: Phenol±chloroform±isoamyl alcohol procedure [1]. PCR: The 1±2 ng target DNA following manufacturer's instructions [AMPF`STR pro®ler plus PCR ampli®cation kit (PE Applied Biosystems)]. Typing: ABI PRISM 310 Genetic Analyzer and reference sequenced ladders (PE Applied Biosystem). Results: See Table 1. Quality control: Pro®ciency testing through GEDNAP and ENFSI DNA WG.
Analysis of data: Statistical package provided by Ranjit Chakraborty (University of Texas School of Biomedical Sciences, Houston, TX, USA). Access to the data: Data available on CD-ROM or diskette upon request. Other remarks: A Greek Cypriot population database for nine loci has been developed to resolve forensic and paternity cases in Cyprus.
