Abstract
We determined the allelic frequencies for six miniSTR loci D1S1677, D2S441, D4S2364 (miniplex NC02) and D10S1248, D14S1434, D22S1045 (miniplex NC01) in a sample of 124 unrelated Libyans. Libya, a Northern African country, was first inhabited by Berbers, followed by Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans, Arabs and Ottomans. Libya became independent in 1951 after a brief period as Italian colony.
