| Full name: | Brazilian genetic x chromosome bank |
| Description: | The Brazilian Genetic Database of the X-BGBX Chromosome was developed with the purpose of compiling the population genetic data published for X-STRs in the Brazilian population and assisting in forensic practice, generating another useful tool for the Technical-Scientific Police, Laboratories DNA and the Academic Community. The database contains published and indexed data in the PubMed database and is composed of different sections, in which information can be obtained on the X-STR markers studied in the Brazilian population, such as: allelic and haplotype frequencies, statistical parameters of forensic interest, information of primers mentioned in the literature, as well as location and allelic structure of the X-STRs. |

Brazilian genetic database of chromosome X. [PMID: 24570022]
The X chromosome is a singular source of information in population genetics, anthropological research and in forensic cases. Thus, many researchers have been interested in characterizing X chromosome markers in different populations. The Brazilian Genetic Database of Chromosome X (BGBX--Banco Genético Brasileiro do Cromossomo X) website is freely available in Portuguese and English versions and was developed with the main purpose of compiling all Brazilian population genetic data for X chromosome short tandem repeats (X-STRs) markers published in scientific journals searchable via PubMed. Furthermore, this database presents other relevant information concerning X-STRs, such as genetic and physical locations, allele structure, nomenclature, mutation rates, primers described in the literature and likelihood ratio calculation. The entire scientific community is now encouraged to submit their X-STR population genetic data to this website, available at http://www.bgbx.com.br. Regarding future prospects of BGBX, the authors intend to expand the website with data and information of X-linked insertion-deletion polymorphisms. |
