UKDNA17freqs: UK DNA-17 Allele Frequency Data for 16 STR Loci

Description

A dataset containing allele frequencies for 16 autosomal STR loci from the UK Population dataset. Frequencies are provided for four population groups: "White_-_EA1_&_EA2", "Black_African_&_Caribbean_-_EA3", "Indian_-_EA4" and "Chinese_-_EA5".

Usage

UKDNA17freqs

Format

A named list of length 4.

Each element is itself a named list of 16 STR loci, with named numeric vectors of allele frequencies.

Details

Each population group is a named list of 16 elements, where each element corresponds to a specific STR locus (e.g., D3S1358, vWA, FGA, etc.). Each locus is represented as a named numeric vector:

• Names: allele values (as character strings, e.g., "12", "14.2")

• Values: allele frequencies for that population group

An attribute "N" is attached to each population list, specifying the sample size (number of alleles) for each locus.

Examples

# Access allele frequencies for D3S1358 in the Indian_-_EA4 population

# Frequency of allele "15" at D3S1358 in the Indian_-_EA4 population
UKDNA17freqs$`Indian_-_EA4`$D3S1358["15"]
