DNA Population Data to support the Implementation of National DNA Database DNA-17 Profiling

The new profiling system is known as DNA 17 and this file provides background data to its use.

The National DNA Database was launched in 1995 with SGM (Second Generation Multiplex) DNA profiling. This test produced a DNA profile at six target areas of DNA and a gender marker. SGM was superseded in 1999 by SGM PlusTM DNA profiling which produced a test result at ten areas of DNA and a gender marker. SGM Plus incorporated the same target areas of DNA as SGM with an additional four areas. In the summer of 2014, the National DNA Database will launch DNA-17 profiling. This test will produce a DNA profile at sixteen target areas of DNA and gender marker. DNA-17 incorporates the same target areas as SGM Plus along with an additional six areas.

新式基因分型系统被誉为DNA 17，本文件旨在为其应用提供背景数据。国家DNA数据库自1995年启用，采用第二代多重基因分型技术（SGM）。该测试在DNA的六个靶区域内生成基因分型，并标记性别。1999年，SGM技术被SGM Plus™所取代，后者在DNA的十个靶区域内生成测试结果，并标记性别。SGM Plus在继承SGM的靶区域基础上，额外增加了四个区域。2014年夏季，国家DNA数据库将推出DNA-17基因分型技术。该测试将在DNA的十六个靶区域内生成基因分型，并标记性别。DNA-17在继承SGM Plus的靶区域基础上，额外增加了六个区域。
