Table 2.

Observed heterozygosity by length (Len) and sequence (Seq), and Increase in heterozygosity from length to sequence, for each population and combined (All). Loci are sorted in descending order of Increase for All. Increases > 0.05 are bolded. Length-based values for D9S1122, D20S482, D17S1301, and D4S2408 are derived from [15], representing a subset of N = 1036 which does not include Asian samples; NR = not reported. Length-based values for the remaining 23 STR loci are derived from [8].
