| Abstract
|
:
|
1061 individuals were sampled from the cities of Anbar, Baghdad, Basra, Diyala, Najaf, and Wasit in Iraq and typed for 15 forensic STRs to explore the genetic structure of Iraq and develop a forensic DNA database. Analyses found that Iraq is similar to other countries in the Middle East, particularly Iran and Turkey, and is more similar to Europe than either Asia or Africa. Iraq is genetically diverse; a clustering algorithm was used to infer the number of genetic clusters in the population and the best fit was eight genetic clusters. Baghdad provides a good representation of the rest of country while Anbar is the most genetically distinct. This may be because Anbar is the only city sampled in a Sunni-dominant region. Although genetic structure differs significantly between the cities, most of the genetic differentiation is between genetic clusters rather than cities.
