Abstract
DNA data base was obtained from 100 unrelated random Malay individualsin Malaysia. The DNA was extracted by the salting out procedure (1), 20 ngtarget DNA was co-amplified using the commercial typing kits, Promega Geneprint™STR multiplex (CTT, FFv, and STR III) and monoplex (LPL) systems, accordingto the manufacturer's instructions. Assignment of alleles was made by visualcomparison between the commercially supplied reference allelic ladders andthe amplified samples at the corresponding locus. Data were analyzed as perthe methods already reported (2-4). No deviations from equilibrium were observed.The power of discrimination ranges from 0.7298 to 0.9311 and the combinedpower for the 10 loci is 0.99989.
