Allele frequency distribution and forensic parameters of the AmpFℓSTR Identifiler kit was determined in nine Mexican Amerindian populations based on 1,040 unrelated individuals from the pre-Columbian region known as Mesoamerica. Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium was demonstrated for most of the short tandem repeats (STRs) in all nine populations. The power of discrimination and exclusion were higher than 0.99999 and 0.997942, respectively. In addition, a brief overview of the genetic relatedness and structure (F st = 2.62 %; p = 0.00000) between these populations is presented.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the need for ethnic-specific forensic databases in Iran, specifically examining 600 Turk individuals from northwestern provinces using various STR markers to gather genetic data.
- Results showed deviations from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium in some loci and highlighted very high combined power of discrimination and exclusion values, indicating their effectiveness in identification tests.
- Comparisons with Azerbaijani and Turkish populations showed no significant differences, while notable variations were found with the Chinese Han population; overall, Iranian populations clustered closely together in genetic analyses.

This study aimed to identify the DNA STR profiles that were obtained from the lips with various lip cosmetics involved in lip pencil, lipsticks and lip gloss for a brand - Makeup Forever and lip balms (Labello brand) - have been popularly used by Saudi women at KSA. The study was involved 35 unrelated participants (healthy female donors) aged between 26 and 32. The swabbing of lip cosmetics was done prior to using them as negative control samples, other sterilized swabs were collected from the used lip cosmetics which contained the lip cells for each participant as a study sample.

The present study aimed to establish human earwax as a potential source of DNA evidence that could be effectively used in human identification. Sixty earwax samples were obtained from 15 healthy male and female Saudi volunteers living in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Four consecutive earwax swab samples were obtained from each volunteer and stored for 1, 15, 30 and 60 days.

The complex demographic history of human populations in North Africa has resulted in a high degree of genetic heterogeneity across the region. However, little is known about the pattern of these genetic variations in its current populations. The present study provides new data on the genetic background of Chaouia, an Arabic-speaking North African population in the western center of Morocco.

Autosomal short tandem repeat (STR) population data collected from a well characterized population are needed to correctly assigning the weight of DNA profiles in the courtroom and widely used for ancestral analyses. In this study, allele frequencies for the 15 autosomal short tandem repeat (STR) loci included in the AmpFlSTR® Identifiler® plus kit (D8S1179, D21S11, D7S820, CSF1PO, D3S1358, TH01, D13S317, D16S539, D2S1338, D19S433, VWA, TPOX, D18S51, D5S818, FGA) were obtained by genotyping 332 unrelated individuals of Ghanaian origin. Statistical tests on STR genotype data showed no significant departure from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE).
