norSTR

CRAN status

The norSTR package contains a genetic map of 51 autosomal STR markers and allele frequency databases for several populations. The marker panel includes the CODIS core loci and markers from commercial kits such as Fusion 6C and SureID27.

Details and references for the physical positions are provided in data-raw/STR51_GRCh38_positions.xlsx Genetic positions were obtained from these coordinates using ibdsim2::convertPos(), based on the recombination map of Halldorsson et al. (2019). Allele frequency databases were compiled from published sources and in-house data.

These databases are maintained and used for kinship analysis by the Department of Forensic Sciences in Oslo, Norway. The norSTR package is used by KLINK and other packages in the pedsuite ecosystem.

Populations included:

A minimum allele frequency of 0.001 was applied in all databases. Frequencies below this threshold were adjusted to 0.001.

Marker map

The current map contains physical and genetic positions of 51 markers:
