FBI CODIS Core STR Loci:
The FBI has published its thirteen core loci for the Combined DNA Index System (CODIS) database. STR Fact Sheets are available for all thirteen loci (click on locus name for the STR Fact Sheet).
For more information, see: Butler, J.M. (2006) Genetics and genomics of core STR loci used in human identity testing. J. Forensic Sci. 51(2): 253-265.
Note that as of January 1, 2017, the FBI will require an additional 7 STR loci for uploading DNA profiles to the National DNA Index System (NDIS). These additional STR loci are D1S1656, D2S441, D2S1338, D10S1248, D12S391, D19S433, and D22S1045.
