Microhaplotype loci (microhaps, MHs) are a novel type of molecular marker of less than 300
nucleotides, defined by two or more closely linked SNPs associated in multiple allelic …

Forensic DNA profiling utilizes autosomal short tandem repeat (STR) markers to establish
identity of missing persons, confirm familial relations, and link persons of interest to crime …

While capillary electrophoresis-based technologies have been the mainstay for human
identity typing applications, there are limitations with this methodology's resolution …

SNPs that are molecularly very close (< 10 kb) will generally have extremely low
recombination rates, much less than 10− 4. Multiple haplotypes will often exist because of …

Background DNA sequencing is likely to become a standard typing method in forensics in
