$\text { Allele Frequencies for Three STRP Loci Used in CODIS }$


$\begin{array}{cccccc}D8531S3&&VAW&&FAG\\\text { Allele } & \text { Frequency } & \text { Allele } & \text { Frequency } & \text { Allele } & \text { Frequency } \\\hline 12 & 0.015 & 12 & 0.015 & 18 & 0.015 \\\hline 13 & 0.015 & 14 & 0.131 & 19 & 0.061 \\\hline 14 & 0.134 & 15 & 0.119 & 20 & 0.125 \\\hline 15 & 0.270 & 16 & 0.186 & 21 & 0.180 \\\hline 16 & 0.229 & 17 & 0.257 & 22 & 0.209 \\\hline 17 & 0.162 & 19 & 0.189 & 23 & 0.131 \\\hline 18 & 0.162 & 0.015 & 0.088 & 24 & 0.146 \\\hline 19 & & 0.015 & 25 & 0.094 \\\hline & & & 26 & 0.018 \\\hline\end{array}$

Definitions:

Diastereomers

Stereoisomers that are not mirror images of each other, containing two or more stereocenters.

Enantiomers

Mirror-image forms of a chiral molecule that cannot be superimposed on each other, often showing different behaviors in chiral environments.

Compounds Shown

Indicates specific chemical compounds depicted in a given context, such as in a diagram or formula.

Enantiomer

One of a pair of molecules that are mirror images of each other but cannot be superimposed, much like left and right hands.
