The population genetics characteristics of Ion AmpliSeq ™ MH-74 plex microhaplotype research panel

A large number of microhaplotype markers have been investigated for various forensic purposes in recent years. In the present study, we have analysed population genetic data and sequencing performance of the Ion AmpliSeq ™ MH-74 plex microhaplotype research panel. A total of 178 samples from 3 major biogeographic regions including 54 Africans, 61 Iraqis from the Middle East and 63 Germans were genotyped using this panel on the Ion S5™ MPS platform (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Then we obtained the allele frequenci es, the effective number of alleles (Ae), and the forensic efficiency parameters of the 74 MHs.
