Population-specific F ST values for forensic STR markers: A worldwide survey

Highlights • Largest survey of published frequencies of forensic STR alleles. • Clarification of meaning of Fst needed to calculate match probabilities. • Demonstration that Fst can be expressed in terms of allelic matching proportions within and between populations. • Demonstration that Fst for a p...

Summary:Highlights • Largest survey of published frequencies of forensic STR alleles. • Clarification of meaning of Fst needed to calculate match probabilities. • Demonstration that Fst can be expressed in terms of allelic matching proportions within and between populations. • Demonstration that Fst for a population depends on the set of populations to which it is compared.
