Abstract
Entire mitochondrial control region data were generated for 248 African American individuals,
which had been previously typed for 15 autosomal STRs [J.M. Butler, R. Schoske, P.M.
Vallone, J.W. Redman, M.C. Kline, Allele frequencies for 15 autosomal STR loci on
U.S. Caucasian, African American, and Hispanic populations, J. Forensic Sci. 48 (2003)
908–911].
