REPEATED DNA • Satellite DNA • Around chromosomal centromere • Long repeats can be 100s to 1000s bp long • Minisatellite DNA • VNTR • Medium repeats 10 to 100 bp long • Microsatellites • STR • Short repeats 2 to 6 bp long
SHORT TANDEM REPEATS • Easy to amplify • Both heterozygote alleles amplify well • Number of repeats highly variable • Good for identification • Many different sites
STR NOMENCLATURE • 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
THE 13 CODIS STR LOCI • Four categories • Simple repeats • TPOX, CSF1PO, D5S818, D13S317, D16S539 • Simple repeats w/ non-consensus alleles • TH01, D18S51, D7S820 • Compound repeats w/ non-consensus alleles • vWA, FGA, D3S1358, D8S1179 • Complex repeats • D21S11

FBI’s CODIS DNA Database Combined DNA Index System • Launched October 1998 • Used for linking serial crimes and unsolved cases with repeat offenders • Links all 50 states • Requires >4 RFLP markers and/or 13 core STR markers • Current backlog of > 600,000 samples As of June, 2004 • Total profiles = 1,857,093 • Total forensic profiles = 85,477 • Total convicted offender = 1,771,616
Population database • Look up how often each allele occurs at the locus in a population (the “allele” frequency)
