DNA profiling has emerged as the gold standard for the identification of victims in mass
disaster events providing an ability to identify victims, reassociate remains and provide …

Designed as an accessible introduction to basic scientific principles and their application in
professional practice, Forensic Biology provides a concise overview of the field. Focusing …

This review explores the key factors that influence the optimization, routine use, and profile
interpretation of the SNaPshot single-base extension (SBE) system applied to forensic …

Background DNA sequencing is likely to become a standard typing method in forensics in
the near future. We define a microhaplotype to be a locus with two or more single nucleotide …

Forensic DNA casework samples are often of insufficient quantity or quality to generate full
profiles by conventional DNA typing methods. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) …

In this study, a multiplex amplification system including 47 autosomal InDels, 2 Y-
chromosome InDels, and the sex-determining marker (Amelogenin) was developed with six …

Marker sets based on insertion/deletion polymorphisms (InDels) combine the characteristics
of both short tandem repeats (STRs) and single nucleotide polymorphisms and have served …

In recent years, insertion/deletion (InDel) markers have become a promising and useful
supporting tool in forensic identification cases and biogeographic research field. In this …

Insertion–deletion polymorphisms (INDELs) are short length diallelic polymorphisms caused
by the insertion or deletion of several bases. INDEL markers can serve as useful …

Genetic analyses of geographically and ethno-linguistically different populations are
essential for understanding population stratification and genomic structure in medical …
