Abstract
The aim of this study was the genetic characterization of two Taiwanese indigenous populations (Ami and Atayal) based on the short tandem repeat (STR) loci sanctioned by CODIS. Significant departures from genetic equilibrium were detected at the D8S1179 and TH01 loci in the Ami, which persisted even after applying Bonferroni-type corrections. Gene diversity (GD) values ranged from 0.5377 (TPOX) to 0.8674 (FGA) in the Atayal, whereas in the Ami GD oscillated between 0.6409 (TPOX) and 0.8764 (D21S11). The STR data were analyzed using distance-based methods to assess the genetic relationships of these two aboriginal groups with other Asian populations.
