Allele frequencies for 48 forensic STR markers in the African population. These include
all markers in map51 except D3S3045, D6S477, and D6S1043.

The modified database.
Genetic maps for the autosomal STR markers featured in norSTR.
map51 map50map51 map50
map51 is a data frame with 51 rows and 4 columns: Marker, Chr, Mb, and cM.
map50 is a data frame with 50 rows and 4 columns: Marker, Chr, cM, and Kit.
map51 is the current map and is recommended for new analyses. It provides both
physical and genetic positions for 51 STR markers.
map50 is a legacy map retained for reproducibility of older analyses. It contains
50 markers and the genetic positions used in earlier versions of norSTR.
Compared with map50, map51 has the following changes:
Added column Mb with the physical positions (GRCh38/hg38) of each marker, defined
as the midpoint of each STR interval.
Recalculated all genetic positions (cM) with ibdsim2::convertPos(), using the
deCODE 2019 recombination map (Halldorsson et al., 2019).
Added marker D6S1043.
Renamed marker APOAI1 to APOC3. (This is an in-house marker not included in
current commercial kits. The original name is a historical label and is no longer
considered accurate.)
Removed column Kit. Marker subsets corresponding to various commercial kits are
available in markerSets.

Lists of autosomal STR markers included in selected forensic kits and panels. Sex-determining (e.g. Amelogenin) and non-autosomal markers (e.g. Y markers) are explicitly omitted.
