Y-chromosomal STR system is highly helpful for forensic applications such as identification
of male DNA in sexual assault cases and paternity testing, particularly in deficiency
cases [

]. Recently, Iida et al. identified five novel male-specific and polymorphic tetranucleotide
STR: DYS441, DYS442, DYS443, DYS444 and DYS445 [

], and developed a multiplex PCR system consisting of these five STRs that was applicable
for forensic and anthropological analyses [
[5]
]. However, little information is available on the allele and haplotype frequencies
of DYS441–445 STRs. The objective of this population study was to create a forensic
database in Ovambo and Turk populations using a multiplex PCR system.Keywords
