APPLICATION OF POLYMORPHISMS AT PIGMENTATION GENES TO PERSONAL IDENTIFICATION

个人身份识别是法医学的重要研究内容之一，STR多态性在世界范围内被广泛应用。然而，STR的调查并不提供有关个人的祖先和所属人口的信息。在这项研究中，色素沉着基因多态性和新的东亚和日本特有的等位基因的频率进行了调查。在这些数据的基础上，开发了推理的方法。

Personal identification is one of the most important investigations in forensics, and the STR polymorphisms are usually used all over the world. However, the investigation of STR does not provide information of the ancestry and population to which an individual belongs. In this study, the frequencies of pigmentation gene polymorphisms and new East Asian- and Japanese-specific alleles were investigated. On the basis of these data, methods were developed for the inference.
