A greater number of loci will only zero in on an ethnic group found in a region pointed to by the lesser number loci. They will indicate no new or additional major geographies. Apparently even a 6 STR profile is enough to distinguish all of the below major ethnic origins per Lowe et al (2001). * Afro-Caribbeans * Middle Easterners * Indian sub-continentals * Southeast Asians * Caucasians [list] [*][b]ABSTRACT[/b] We report the use of DNA profiles from six STR loci for inferring the ethnic origin of a crime stain and discuss how such inference may be used as intelligence information to reduce the expected number of interviews to resolve a case. To enable this work, databases have been created for five British ethnic groups (Caucasians, Afro-Caribbeans, Indian sub-continentals, Southeast Asians and Middle Easterners) that together comprise 99.7% of the UK population.
