Genetic characteristics and phylogenetic analysis of three Chinese ethnic groups using the Huaxia Platinum System.

ABSTRACT: Short tandem repeats (STRs) are attractive to genetic applications like forensic, anthropological and population genetics studies. The Huaxia Platinum System was specifically developed to allow co-amplification and detection of all markers in the expanded CODIS core loci and the Chinese National Database. In this study, in continuation to our previous validation study, 568 unrelated individuals were firstly genotyped to investigate the effectiveness of this novel assay in 3 main ethnic groups of China (Han, Tibetan and Yi). The combined power of discrimination (CPD) were 0.9999999999999999999999999992, 0.999999999999999999999999992, 0.999999999999999999999999998, respectively, and the combined power of exclusion (CPE) were 0.9999999999, 0.999999995, 0.999999998, respectively. Next, genetic
