Abstract

Allele frequencies for 15 autosomal STR loci included in the AmpFlSTR Identifiler kit (CSF1PO, D13S317, D16S539, D18S51, D19S433, D21S11, D2S1338, D3S1358, D5S818, D7S820, D8S1179, FGA, TH01, TPOX, VWA) were obtained from the analysis of 404 individuals with Somali origin. The overall match probability for the 15 studied loci was 1 in 1.18 x 10(17) and the combined power of exclusion was 0.999997676. Deviation from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium was observed for locus D2S1338 after correction for multiple testing. When comparing allele frequencies with five other African populations (Karamoja (Uganda), Mozambique, Tanzania and two other Somali population sample sets), only the Somali populations did not show significant differences for any of the tested loci.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 29 August 2022.
All research outputs
#15,169,543
of 25,374,647 outputs
Outputs from Forensic Science International: Genetics
#690
of 1,342 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#154,050
of 185,842 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Forensic Science International: Genetics
#14
of 14 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,647 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 38th percentile – i.e., 38% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,342 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.3. This one is in the 46th percentile – i.e., 46% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 185,842 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 16th percentile – i.e., 16% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 14 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
