The book "Variations of Autosomal Short Tandem Repeats & Amelogenin Loci" provides a comprehensive analysis of the genetic markers used for individual identification. It highlights the significance of short tandem repeat sequences (STRs) as powerful tools in forensics, paternity testing, and individual identification studies. The authors, Basheer Azzawi, Salwa Al-Awadi, and Zahra Al-Khafaji, examine the allele frequencies in the Iraqi population and present data on the STR loci relevant to the three main ethnic groups – Arabs, Kurds, and Turkmen. This research is particularly important as there is a lack of a corresponding database in Iraq necessary for calculating the random match probability between DNA samples. Thus, the book offers valuable insights into genetic diversity and the application of STRs in forensic science.
