Statistical Analysis of DNA
• Simple Repeats– Identical length and sequence
• agat agat agat agat agat
• Compound Repeats– Two or more adjacent simple repeats
• agat agat agat ttaa ttaa ttaa
• Complex Repeats– Variable unit length & possible intervening seq
• agat agat aggat agat agat ttaacggccat agat agat
STR NOMENCLATURE
• Microvariants
– Alleles that contain incomplete units
• TH01 9.3
• aatg aatg aatg aatg aatg aatg aatg aatg aatg aatg - 10
• aatg aatg aatg aatg aatg aatg atg aatg aatg aatg - 9.3
STRs Used In Forensic Science• Need lots of variation - polymorphic• Overall short segments - 100-400 bp
– Can use degraded DNA samples– Segment size usually limits preferential amplification
of smaller alleles• Single base resolution
– TH01 9.3• TETRANUCLEOTIDE REPEATS
– Narrow allele size range - multiplexing
– Reduces allelic dropout (stochastic effects)
– Use with degraded DNA possible
– Reduced stutter rates - easier to interpret mixtures
ALLELIC LADDERS
• Artificial mixture of common alleles• Reference standards• Enable forensic scientists to compare results
– Different instruments– Different detection methods
• Allele quantities balanced • Produced with same primers as test samples• Commercially available in kits

Product Rule
frequency at one locus • The frequency of a multi-locus STR
profile is the product of the genotype frequencies at the individual loci
ƒ locus1 x ƒ locus2 x ƒ locusn = ƒcombined
Criteria for Use of Product Rule
Inheritance of alleles at one locus have no effect on alleles inherited at other loci

D3S1358 = 16, 16 (homozygote)
Frequency of 16 allele = ??
D3S1358 = 16, 16 (homozygote)
Frequency of 16 allele = 0.3071
When same allele:
Frequency = genotype frequency (p2)(for now!)
Genotype freq = 0.3071 x 0.3071 = 0.0943
This is the random match probability

VWA = 15, 17 (heterozygote)
Frequency of 15 allele = 0.2361
Frequency of 17 allele = 0.1833
When heterozygous: Frequency = 2 X allele 1 freq X allele 2 freq
(2pq)Genotype freq = 2 x 0.2361 x 0.18331 = 0.0866

From the observed allele frequencies that we have just calculateda table of expected observations is calculated.Each entry is calculated as the allele frequency for that pair but the result must then multiplied by the total number of individuals
When heterozygous: 2 x (allele 1 freq) x ( allele 2 freq) x N = (2pq) x 196
When homozygous: (allele freq)2 x N = (p)2 x 196
We now have a table of observed and a table of expected values. To compare the observed values with the expected values a a CHI-SQUARE test is performedIn EXCEL .
Step 1.Select a cell in the work sheet, the location which you like the p value of the CHI-SQUARE to appear. Step 2. From the menus, select insert then click on the Function option, Paste Function dialog box appears.Step 3.Refer to function category box and choose statistical, from function name box select CHITEST and click on OK.Step 4.When the CHITEST dialog appears:Enter the actual-range and then enter the expected-range , and finally click on OK.
The p-value will appear in the selected cell.Since the p-value of 0.9798 is greater than the level of significance (0.05), it fails to reject the null hypothesis. This verifies the independence of the alleles, as well asindicating that the the sample used is not statisticallydifferent from the general population.
The 2 test first calculates a 2 statistic using the formula: where:
Aij = actual frequency in the i-th row, j-th columnEij = expected frequency in the i-th row, j-th columnr = number or rowsc = number of columnsA low value of 2 is an indicator of independence. As can be seen from the formula, 2 is always positive or 0, and is 0 only if Aij = Eij for every i,j.
CHITEST returns the probability that a value of the 2 statistic at least as high as the value calculated by the above formula could have happened by chance under the assumption of independence.
To find the 2 statistic value for the reported value of p:Step 1.Select a cell in the work sheet, the location which you like the CHI-SQUARE statistic to appear. Step 2. From the menus, select insert then click on the Function option, Paste Function dialog box appears.Step 3.Refer to function category box and choose statistical, from function name box select CHIINV and click on OK.Step 4.When the CHIINV dialog appears:Enter the cell containing the p-value (0.9798) and then enter 28 for the degrees of freedom , and finally click on OK.
A value of 14.98 is returned, and this is equal to the 2 statistic
