The unique structure of the X chromosome shaped by evolution has led to the present
gender-specific genetic differences, which are not shared by its counterpart, the Y …

Short tandem repeat (STR) markers are the cornerstone of forensic identity and kinship
testing. Markers located on the X and the Y chromosome can complement those found on …

DNA from biological forensic samples can be highly fragmented and present in limited
quantity. When DNA is highly fragmented, conventional PCR based Short Tandem Repeat …

Heterozygote imbalances leading to allele drop-outs and disproportionally large stutters
leading to allele drop-ins are known stochastic phenomena related to STR typing of low …

X-chromosome markers have become a useful set of markers of choice when certain
complex kinship cases need to be unravelled. The Argus X-12 kit allows the co-amplification …

Studies of human genetic variation predominantly use short tandem repeats (STRs) and
single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) but Insertion deletion polymorphisms (Indels) are …

Although short tandem repeats (STRs) are traditionally the marker of choice for traditional
forensic DNA typing applications, single‐nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs; pronounced …

Microsatellite genetic markers are the gold standard for human genetic identification.
Forensic analyses around the world are carried out through protocols using the analysis of …

Polymorphic genetic markers located on the X chromosome might become a complement in
particular forensic identification when the biological kinship are deficient. We analyzed …

Background: The mutation rate of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) is estimated to
be 100,000 times lower than that of short tandem repeats (STRs), which makes SNPs very …
