We identified your fingerprint at one locus, D1S80, with 25known alleles. Within the human genome, manyshort tandem repeat (STR) regions have been identified. Tens of thousands of STR regions exist withinexons and introns of various genes. About half of these are highly polymorphic, that is, the number of STRsis highly variable. STRs consist of athree to seven base pair motif that is repeated a variable number of times in atandem array.
 Consideralso the following three STRs, used most frequently by crime labs, and answerthe following questions about your experiment and about crime lab DNAfingerprinting. The first one (CSF1PO)is located on chromosome arm 5q and the number of repeats varies between 6 and15 (i.e. there are ten known alleles). These alleles lie within a proto-oncogene. A second STR (TPOX) lies within the thyroidperoxidase gene on chromosome arm 2p and the repeat number varies between 6 and12 repeats (i.e. there are seven known alleles). Finally, a third STR site (THO1) is locatedon 11p and the number of repeats varies between 5 and 11 (but also includes a9.3 repeat allele caused by a truncated repeat, for 8 known alleles).
