Chapter E, Problem 9P

Additional STR allele frequency information can be added to improve the analysis in Problem $8$. The frequency of $\text{D8S117912 = 0}\text{.12}$. The frequency of $\text{D16S53918 = 0}\text{.08}$ and of $\text{D16S53920 = 0}\text{.21}$. Lastly, $\text{D18S5119 = 0}\text{.13}$ and $\text{D18S5120 = 0}\text{.10}$. Combine the allele frequency information for these three STR genes with the information used in Problem $8$ to calculate the frequency of the genotype for six of the STR genes.

E.8 Figure $\text{E}\text{.1}$ illustrates the results of an electrophoretic analysis of $\text{13}$ CODIS STR markers on a DNA sample and identifies the alleles for each gene. Table $\text{E}\text{.2}$ lists the frequencies for alleles of three of the STRs shown in the figure. Use this information to calculate the frequency of the genotype for STR genes FGA, $\text{νWA}$, and $\text{D3S1358}$ given in Figure $\text{E}\text{.1}$.
