- With Only One Exception The Most Commonly Used Str Loci Are Spread Across The Human Genome Each On A Separate Chromoso 1 (92.38 KiB) Viewed 101 times
With only one exception, the most commonly used STR loci are spread across the human genome, each on a separate chromosome. a. Why is it important to analyze STRs that are all on their own chromosomes? b. What is the exception to this? (i.e., which two loci are on the same human chromosome and which chromosome are they on?) C. Using the UCSC Genome browser, look up the two loci that you answered in 2.b. one at a time. Include a rough hand-drawing or screenshot of the ideogram (pictograph, example below) of the chromosome and mark the approximate location of each locus. ample: nr 2 p25.3) p21 2p12 d. Using your answer in 2.c. and your knowledge of the frequency of crossover events on human chromosomes (see chapters 5 and 6), in your opinion is the fact that these two loci are on the same chromosome a problem for forensic genetic analysis? Explain your answer.
